HELPING VICTIMS OF MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE FOR OVER 15 YEARS

chair bound and totally reliant on the support of others. We put formal allegations to the Defendant Hospital and liability was quickly admitted in full. A settlement was negotiated including funds to allow our client to adapt her home and receive assistance from carers for the rest of her life.

Client Y’s story

Our Specialist Medical Negligence Team have been assisting clients who have suffered injuries arising from medical negligence for over 15 years. Whilst our team assist clients all over the country, we are proud to offer our services in our new office location in West Kirby.

Over the last 15 years we have recovered millions of pounds in compensation for our clients, many of whom have been unable to continue working and required external support and adaptations to their homes as a consequence of failures in their medical care.

As well as failures within the heath sector we do also come across excellent medical care. In fact, very often when approached by clients who have concerns about medical treatment at private or NHS hospitals our initial advice is that they utilise the hospital’s own internal complaints procedure. Our experience is that it is often only a lack of communication which has led them to believe there has been a failure in their care resulting in a poor or unexpected outcome. Once they have raised their concerns and they have been properly answered, many clients are often reassured and can move on with their lives. Sadly, we are however required to represent clients in cases where there is not a simple explanation or the explanation provided to them by the treatment provider is not acceptable.

Story

One such case concerned a lady who underwent knee replacement surgery in order to improve her mobility. The treatment was funded by NHS but had been referred out to a private treatment centre. The surgery failed, as did restorative treatment and rather than improving her mobility, she was left wheelchair bound. Her family raised complaints with the surgeon and complained in writing but were reassured that the poor outcome was just one of those things and a risk of any surgery. We investigated and obtained independent expert evidence from an orthopaedic surgeon and discovered that a basic surgical mistake had been made in regards to the primary surgery. Had the correct technique been used the outcome would have been good and her mobility restored. Instead the damage caused to the knee was irreversible and she had been left permanently wheel-

Another case concerned a young woman who developed cervical cancer. There had been some early signs and she had attended her GP and was referred for screening tests which were performed. She was reassured that these were all clear. Cancer was later diagnosed by which time it was advanced and she had a 5cm tumour of the uterine cervix and required radiotherapy and chemotherapy and the treatment resulted in the premature onset of the menopause and consequent infertility. Owing to physical and psychological problems she was unable to return to work on a full-time basis. She complained about a delay in diagnosis but was reassured that the appropriate tests had been conducted. She was reassured that nothing more could have been done. We were instructed and investigated the case and as part of that investigation obtained evidence from an independent histopathologist. This evidence indicated that the early cervical smears had in fact been reported incorrectly by the Defendant Trust which was completely unacceptable. Had they been reported correctly as showing early signs of cancer, as they should have been, a simple procedure could have been performed avoiding all of the longterm consequences. We obtained admissions of liability and a substantial damages award which included compensation for her injuries, her loss of earnings and perhaps most importantly funds to allow her to pay for the future lifelong medical treatment that she would now require.
