Significant Cases

I represented a man who was left with significant dysfunction after a circumcision operation, securing £125,000 in damages. The Hospital Trust involved admitted errors had been made which led to life-changing injuries. Independent medical experts who I consulted as part of the case said that, due to the man’s weight, the operation should have been carried out alongside liposuction and skin-grafting, and that this would likely have left him with no long-term problems.

I secured damages for a man who developed sepsis after doctors at a health centre failed to diagnose a urinary infection and told him he had flu. The patient, who was 47 at the time, was advised to attend at an out-of-hours surgery after calling 111 because he was suffering from increasingly worsening headaches, shivers, and in pain when urinating. Despite this, and like so many other cases we see, there was a failure by health professionals to fully investigate all symptoms on initial assessment as a urine dipstick test was not carried out.
