Medical Negligence client
When Luke took part in the Great Northern Run when he was just 25, he unexpectedly collapsed at the finish line. After being taken to A&E, he was discharged hours later. Nine days later, Luke was hospitalised with acute liver failure. After an emergency liver transplant, he went on to experience multi-organ failure and became critically ill. Luke also suffered a life-changing brain injury.
