Staffordshire Medical Negligence Solicitors

Covering Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire, clinical negligence lawyers, Timms Solicitors, have been successful in many claims against local hospitals.

For example, a claim against North Staffordshire Hospital in which damages of £100k were awarded for a failed cervical spine decompression operation performed by Mr Dias, Consultant Neurosurgeon. Failure to carry out an urgent MRI scan given the claimant’s further neurological weakness which had developed in the immediate post-operative period, and which delay left the claimant with permanent further neurological weakness.

In another case, Timms Solicitors announce the settlement of a claim for £487k brought by their department head, David Dickie, against Stafford Hospital. This Staffordshire medical negligence claim arose out of the tragic and unnecessary death of Mr G, whose recurring anal fissure following the reversal of his colostomy was not properly diagnosed despite being shown on an MRI scan, and who was repeatedly treated for sepsis only over many years, despite the continual recurrence of the sepsis and instead of getting to the cause of it by referring him to a super specialist colo-rectal surgeon.

Eventually Mr G was too weakened to have the liver transplant that would otherwise have saved his life. A complicated high value dependency claim was brought for the deceased’s widow and young children based on the earnings the deceased would have made in his fledgling businesses and the life expectancy and working life he would have had with a liver transplant. The infant settlement and apportionment was approved by the court.
