Exceptionally Tough Legal Battle Finally Resolved After 12 Years.
Solicitor Chris Moore, Joint Head of Clinical Negligence, spoke to BBC Midlands about the ‘exceptionally tough legal battle’ required to secure a damages settlement of almost £24m for his client, who suffered a brain injury at birth.
The award includes a lump sum of £7.8m and annual payments for the rest of the man’s life.
“It has been 12 years in total and this has been an exceptionally tough road for my client and his family, particularly given the long legal battle we had, during which time Nottingham University Hospital Trust simply refused to accept that it had been at fault at all,” he said.
