Over the years I have worked on numerous notable cases. One case in particular involved a young woman who suffered a stroke postpartum and we ended up going to trial.

I’m pleased to say that we were successful in proving that the stroke could have been avoided with appropriate care and management of the hospital trust involved.

The impact of the stroke on my client was huge. She was unable to work and support her young family. The claim was successfully resolved and my client now has the right amount of compensation to help with her future medical, care, therapy, rehabilitation and accommodation costs.

It was a fantastic feeling to know that her future was secure and that she had all the help she needed to move forward with her life and regain some of her independence.

The claim was highly publicised and was featured in The Sentinel and Daily Mail.

Other high-profile cases I’ve worked on include:

• Partial sight loss claim - BBC News
• Claim for severe spine damage after delay in care - BBC News
• Misdiagnosis of spinal injury - The Sun

I help to achieve the best outcomes for my clients by listening to their concerns and investigating their case with meticulous detail. All aspects of the case will be investigated from the care that was provided, the injury suffered, and the impact that this has on all aspects of their life.

I outline each stage of the case to my client so that they know what to expect and when they’ll get the next update. Independent expert evidence is often very important in medical negligence claims, and I make sure that I select suitable experts and take time to explain complex medical evidence with my client in a way that they can understand.

Where appropriate, I also refer my clients to our in-house support networks, who can help them to secure rehabilitation, care, emotional support, and any means-tested benefits they may be entitled to claim.

The best part of my job is working closely with my clients to understand their position, evidence all their financial losses, with the aim of achieving a settlement that’ll change their lives.

I’m happy to meet you in person either at our offices or in the comfort of your own home. I’ve also met clients while they’re in hospital, so this is also an option depending on your needs. I can also meet with clients virtually to fit around their busy schedules and any ongoing medical treatment.

If you choose to instruct me as your solicitor, I’ll explain the initial investigation process in detail, including the likely timescale and outline your options moving forward. I know it can sometimes be daunting taking the step to contact a solicitor, so my aim will be to put you at ease, ensure your concerns are heard and that you’re aware of the steps that I’ll be taking for you to progress your case.
