Successful Medical Negligence Cases

Below you will find just a small selection of some of the successful medical negligence claims Sharon has dealt with from the Birmingham office.

Negligent treatment leading to an above the knee amputation

Sharon secured substantial compensation for her client after she had to have an above the knee amputation which could have been prevented.

Following a fall at home where she injured her left knee, Sharon’s client went to hospital but was not adequately examined and as a result the symptoms of vascular compromise were not recognised. Had they been she would have been sent for vascular review. Following several phone calls to the hospital, where she was told not to worry, the claimant returned to hospital six days later, where she was told they had lost the opportunity to undergo an urgent decompressive fasciotomy – which would have prevented the need for her leg to be amputated.

The hospital admitted liability after Sharon sought extensive expert advice from a variety of professionals as part of the claim.

Fatal failure to provide adequate prophylactic antibiotics

Sharon acted for the family of a man who died after a failure to give him the necessary antibiotics during surgery.

The man had antibiotics prescribed, however it was noted prior to the surgery that the prescribed antibiotics were not suitable due to an allergy recorded on his medical records.

Replacement prophylactic antibiotics were not prescribed meaning that the man was not covered during surgery.

Following surgery the man developed endocarditis. As a result further surgery was needed, which the man did not survive.

Our independent medical expert found that it was the lack of prophylactic antibiotics which led to the endocarditis and subsequent surgery and death.

The claim was brought by the man’s family. A settlement was received after extensive negotiation.
