Clinical Negligence

Described by one client as leaving no stone unturned in her approach to litigation, Amy specialises in complex and high-value catastrophic injury clinical negligence claims. She has particular expertise in private multi-defendant claims and obtaining high value fatal accident claims for high net worth individuals’ families with complex future loss claims following representation at inquests.

Amy advises on a diverse range of clinical negligence cases that have left her clients suffering from life-altering injuries. Although not limited to these, she predominately deals with spinal, brain and birth injury claims resulting from varying acts or omissions from negligence in a variety of health care settings in particular multi-party private treatment claims. Heading up our Inquests and Fatal Accident claims she has recently completed the Coronial Law Lecture Series 2022 at the University of Bolton.

Amy represented a family in a high-value fatal accident claim for a company director, obtaining £1.46m for his estate largely for future dependency claims for his wife and children. In a recent incomplete paraplegic claim, Amy obtained a £3.3m settlement for a client with an impaired life expectancy that included a £130,000 annual payment to cover ongoing future 24-hour care. Amy also recovered £3.2m for an 80-year-old client who suffered complete paraplegia due to negligent anaesthesia. Amy recently concluded a minor acquired brain injury claim for a young person securing a £1m settlement prior to proceedings being served.
