HHD Solicitor:  Rosemary Millar, Litigation Partner specialising in Personal Injury, Historical Abuse and Medical and Dental Negligence Claims

Settlement:  £185,000

What happened:

We are proud to have recently secured a settlement of £185,000 for a client who suffered serious abuse whilst a child in a foster care placement arranged and regulated by a local HSC Trust.

How HHD Solicitors helped:

We acted in this highly sensitive historical abuse action with care, patience and empathy, ensuring our client felt supported throughout the process.  At the same time, we carefully gathered comprehensive evidence to present the full extent of the harm suffered by our client, to include:

• Psychiatric experts, to evidence the long-term psychological impact.
• Educational psychologists, to highlight how the abuse disrupted the client’s development and life opportunities.
• Forensic accountancy evidence, to quantify financial losses and future impact.

This detailed and thorough approach enabled us to build a strong case on our client’s behalf and ultimately secure a substantial settlement.

Our client described the settlement as “life-changing”, giving them the security and confidence to move forward with their life after years of trauma.

Our Rosemary Millar commented that:

“Cases like this remind us of the importance of pursuing justice for survivors and ensuring that institutions and public health authorities are held accountable for their failings. It was a privilege to act on behalf of this client and many other survivors like them.”
