Stephanie handles a mix of complex personal injury and clinical negligence work, with a particular interest in birth injuries, child abuse claims (involving claims against individuals and local authorities) and fatal accident cases.
Recent cases include a successful settlement of a complex obstetric case involving uterine inversion which led to the woman having a hysterectomy at the age of 28 and another case involving a failure to diagnose testicular cancer. This led to the claimant giving evidence on deposition prior to his death. Stephanie has also recently settled a claim for over £3 million for a child who sustained a brain injury at 22 months. She is currently investigating a spinal injury claim which is likely to conclude with a multi-million pound settlement and she has recently settled a group action against a local authority.
