I have dedicated myself to the practice of medical negligence litigation for very personal reasons.  I suffered a birth injury which left me with a permanent disability known as Erb’s palsy or brachial plexus palsy.   My personal journey fuels my commitment to ensuring that others do not endure the same hardships caused by negligence.  I understand all too well the importance of fighting for answers and accountability when something has gone wrong during hospital treatment.

I also understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll that medical negligence can take on individuals and families, and strive to secure fair compensation for clients.  I have acted in high-value cases of cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy and other birth injuries; surgical errors and negligence; GP negligence and delayed cancer diagnosis to name only a few examples of the cases I have successfully concluded at trial and at settlement.

I am a frequent speaker at conferences on medical negligence and inquests.  My cases are regularly reported in the national and regional media, and I am regularly asked to comment on key legal issues in this sector.

In addition to my legal practice, I am actively involved in raising awareness about medical negligence issues and advocating for improvements in healthcare practices. I believe in fostering a safer and more accountable healthcare system for all.

Contact me today to discuss your case and take the first step toward obtaining the accountability, compensation and closure you deserve.
