Helping a Catastrophic Injury Client Move Forward After Life-Changing Trauma
Our client sustained a life-changing injury that led to a transfemoral amputation. Working together with the Defendant’s legal team, expert clinicians and a dedicated multidisciplinary team (MDT), we secured a settlement of £6.3 million to support his future care, mobility and accommodation needs.
Key elements of the case included:
- Early engagement and interim funding from the Defendant for private rehabilitation – which helped to speed up recovery and therefore reduce long-term costs.
- A collaborative litigation process that kept the client at the centre – open communication built trust and avoided unnecessary delays.
- Leading expert witnesses covering specialist medical disciplines informing the future provisions for prosthetics, physiotherapy, care and accommodation.
- A client-focused MDT who supported recovery and long-term planning.
- An experienced and empathetic legal team, including specialist Counsel and external partners.
- Avoiding a trial and thus saving time, expense and uncertainty for all parties.
- A dignified process improving outcomes and satisfaction for all.
Thanks to timely osseointegration surgery and advanced prosthetic provision, our client has made remarkable progress and now enjoys greater independence and a return to much-valued everyday activities, including playing darts with their friends!
We’re proud to have worked alongside a team of open, cooperative professionals on both sides of the claim, including Bernard Doherty of 39 Essex Chambers, Anthony Bushell of DWF Law LLP and QBE Insurance, whose collaborative mindset helped make this complex litigation a better outcome for all, including the Defendant.
We wish our client and their family every happiness moving forward.
