Throughout my career, I’ve acted in several high-value and legally complex clinical negligence claims involving catastrophic injury.

These include securing £8.7 million in compensation for a child who developed cerebral palsy following negligent management during labour and delivery. The settlement will provide lifelong specialist care, therapies, adapted accommodation, and financial security for the child and their family.

I’ve also secured multi-million-pound settlements for clients who have sustained severe brain injuries as a result of failures in medical care. These cases often involve complex expert evidence across multiple medical disciplines and detailed consideration of a client’s lifelong rehabilitation, care and accommodation needs.

I believe that achieving the best outcome starts with listening. I take time to understand exactly what happened, how it’s affected you and your family, and what you hope to achieve through your claim.

Clinical negligence cases are often complex and need careful investigation. I work closely with leading independent medical experts to establish whether your treatment fell below an acceptable standard and, importantly, whether that caused your injury.

From the outset, I focus on building the strongest possible case by gathering detailed medical evidence, obtaining witness statements where appropriate, and understanding the full impact your injuries have had on every aspect of your life.

Where liability is admitted, I’ll seek early interim payments wherever possible to fund rehabilitation, specialist treatment, therapies, care or adapted accommodation while the claim is ongoing. Throughout the case I’ll explain each stage in plain English, keep you updated regularly, and make sure you always understand your options before important decisions are made.

No two clients are the same, so neither are the cases I build. My aim is not only to secure the maximum compensation available but to achieve an outcome that genuinely improves your quality of life and provides long-term security for the future.

Your first meeting is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to tell me, in your own words, what has happened. I appreciate that discussing your experiences can be emotional, so there’s no expectation for you to have all the answers or remember every detail.

We’ll talk about the medical treatment you’ve received, how your injuries have affected your life and whether there may be grounds for a claim. I’ll explain how the legal process works, what investigations are needed, likely timescales and the funding options available, including No Win No Fee arrangements where appropriate. I’ll also answer any questions you have so you can decide whether making a claim is the right decision for you.

I can meet clients in whichever way is most convenient, whether that’s at one of our offices, at home, in hospital or by video or phone call. If you decide to instruct me, the first steps will usually involve obtaining your medical records, arranging an initial review of the evidence and beginning our investigations.

Above all, I want you to leave that first meeting feeling listened to, informed and reassured that you have someone in your corner who will guide you through the process from start to finish.
