Victoria is an experienced associate in the medical negligence team, who  represents clients injured due to failings in their medical care.

Her work spans a wide variety of medical fields and she acts for clients who have suffered surgical errors, sepsis, delayed diagnoses, and mismanagement of infection. Victoria often represents families who have sadly lost a relative because of their medical treatment, and is praised by clients for her sensitive handling of such claims.

As a medical negligence specialist, I work with injured patients and families who have lost a loved one. My role is not just to provide helpful, accurate advice, and to fight to achieve the best result; I am also here to support them through the claim.
