£125,000 compensation secured for client following substandard medical treatment

HHD Solicitor:  Rosemary Millar, Partner specialising in personal injury, historical abuse and medical and dental negligence claims.

Settlement:  £125,000

What happened:

Rosemary Millar recently secured a £125,000 settlement for a client who suffered as a result of substandard medical treatment received at a BHSCT hospital for a gynaecological condition.

What should have been a routine course of care instead resulted in ongoing physical and emotional difficulties, significantly impacting multiple aspects of her life.

How HHD Solicitors helped:

From the outset, it was clear that the care provided had caused serious and lasting harm.  To build a strong case, we obtained independent expert medical evidence from specialists outside the jurisdiction, including a urogynaecologist, a dermatologist and a psychiatrist.

Their reports provided clear and compelling findings, highlighting both the failings in care and the extent of the impact on our client’s health and wellbeing.

Based on this strong evidence, we entered into negotiations with the defendant Trust and successfully secured a favourable settlement without the need to proceed to trial.  This approach spared our client the stress and uncertainty of a lengthy Court process while ensuring she received fair compensation.

Our client was delighted with the result and expressed relief at being able to put this difficult experience behind her.  She can now move forward with her life, reassured that her suffering has been acknowledged and appropriately addressed.
