Spinal Injury Claims

We obtained £2.2 million for a young man who suffered a spinal cord injury in a road accident which has left him with a low level paraplegia.

We obtained a record interim payment of £1.75 million for a tetraplegic mother to purchase suitable accommodation for herself and her daughter, following a road accident in Macedonia.

We obtained a settlement worth £3 million on behalf of a cyclist who was catastrophically injured in a road accident when his racing bicycle collided with a car which had skidded in poor weather because the driver was going too fast with a defective tyre.

We obtained a settlement worth £1.4 million for a 32 year old woman who suffered a worsening of her spinal cord injury because of the negligence of a paramedic employed by the ambulance service.

Brain Injury Claims

We obtained £650,000 for a boy who suffered a serious head injury when he was hit by a car on his way home from school. Although he ran into the road, the car driver was travelling at 40mph so liability was agreed on a 50/50 basis.

We obtained £4 million for a young man who suffered very serious head injuries when he was negligently allowed to leave hospital, where he was an inpatient, and jump from a roof in the town centre.

We are expected to obtain £500,000 for a woman who suffered catastrophic head injuries when she was hit by a bendy bus. The award would have been higher but the woman was found to be 25% liable for the accident as she crossed the road when the light was against her.

We obtained an award worth £2.3 million for a boy who suffered brain damage when hospital staff failed to diagnose and treat sinusitis and instead misdiagnosed and treated him for meningitis.

We obtained £650,000 for a one-year-old girl who fell from the window of her parent's council flat and suffered a brain injury.

We obtained an award worth £500,000 for a young motorcyclist who suffered a severe head injury. The award would have been worth £1 million but the man was found to be 50% liable for the accident as he was driving without a licence or insurance.

We obtained £375,000 for a pensioner who was hit by a car as she crossed the road diagonally in the early hours of the morning. Her award took into account that she was held 25% liable for the accident as she crossed when it was unsafe to do so.

Cerebral Palsy Claims

We obtained a record £7.5 million settlement on behalf of an 8 year old boy who suffered cerebral palsy as a result of the mismanagement of his delivery.

We obtained a settlement worth £5.7 million on behalf of a 9 year old girl who has cerebral palsy as a result of negligence on the part of obstetric and midwifery staff at Guy’s Hospital.

We obtained £3.275 million for a boy who suffered catastrophic injuries after a hospital failed to diagnose and treat meningitis. His subsequent brain and spinal cord damage caused cerebral palsy.

We obtained £2.5 million for a child who suffered severe cerebral palsy as a result of a hospital’s failure to accurately measure the severity of his jaundice and to treat this.

Amputation Claims 

We obtained £150,000 for a delivery driver who suffered a traumatic amputation in a road traffic accident whilst at work. This is despite our cliently being advised by another personal injury firm there was not enough evidence to pursue his claim.

We obtained £472,000 for a woman who suffered an amputation after being hit by a bus. The claim was settled at mediation.

We obtained £750,000 for a client who suffered an above-knee amputation following an accident at work.

Blindness Claims

We obtained a six-figure settlement for a man who was registered blind, following a hospital's failure to diagnose his condition.

We obtained £1.1 million for a man who suffered a severe loss of vision due to his GP's negligence. The GP had been advised of his patient's condition but failed to refer him for treatment for 6 months. During this time the man's vision deteriorated further.
