The injuries sustained caused significant physical and psychological harm and derailed her clinical career; the defendant accepted the strength of the case after evidence and expert testimony."

Ashtons Legal represented a medical professional who suffered injury and the death of her child as a result of negligent care and secured an £800,000 settlement on her behalf. The claimant had built a long-standing career in healthcare, respected by colleagues and with clear prospects for advancement. Following the negligent care that led to her child’s death, she sustained physical and psychological injuries that profoundly affected her ability to continue in the profession she had dedicated herself to. The damages claimed reflected not only immediate pain and suffering but also the loss of career trajectory, professional identity and long-term prospects. The case required careful preparation and the instruction of expert witnesses to establish the extent of the claimant’s clinical abilities prior to the incident and the future trajectory that had been lost. The defendant ultimately recognised the strength of the evidence and agreed to a substantial settlement, which provides financial security and assistance for the claimant’s rehabilitation and future needs. Ashtons Legal represented the client, a medical professional, with a team composed by: Natalie Cosgrove, Partner, Medical Negligence.
