£30,000 settlement for client following substandard neurological treatment

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

Settlement:  £30,000

What happened:

Our Rosemary Millar recently secured a £30,000 settlement for a client who suffered as a result of substandard medical treatment received at a BHSCT hospital for the misdiagnosis and treatment of a neurological condition. What should have been a routine course of care, left our client with unwanted physical symptoms and emotional difficulties that adversely affected his life for a period of 4 years.

How HHD Solicitors helped:

From the outset, it was clear that the care provided had caused significant symptoms and difficulties for our client for the period of the inappropriate treatment and for some time thereafter. To build the strongest possible case, we obtained independent expert medical evidence from outside the jurisdiction from a neurologist and a psychiatrist. Their reports provided clear, supportive findings, which highlighted the failings in care and the impact on our client’s health and wellbeing.

On foot of the evidence, we were able to enter negotiations with the Defendant Trust and secure a favourable settlement without the necessity of proceeding to a trial. This spared our client the stress of a lengthy court process while still ensuring he received fair compensation.

Our client was delighted with the outcome and has since been able to move on with his life.
