Placental abruption signs: Medical negligence claims
Understanding placental abruption: Causes, symptoms, and medical negligence claims. The placenta is the baby’s lifeline in the womb, supplying oxygen
I qualified as a Legal Executive in September 2019 and am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives. I originally joined Tees as a Paralegal in the Medical Negligence team in April 2015 and studied for my professional qualification whilst working full-time and gaining invaluable experience.
I deal with a variety of Medical Negligence claims, including:
I will work with you to seek answers for what has gone wrong and to understand your needs going forward. I understand that seeking legal advice on a medical issue can be daunting however am friendly and approachable and will provide updates, support and understanding from the initial meeting and throughout your time with us.
I have been instructed on a wide range of medical negligence claims, and some settlements include:
I came to Tees with no knowledge of how a medical negligence claim would work or the machinations of the compensation system. Katheryn was consistently helpful, clear, available and empathetic. I am very pleased with not only the end result, but with how swiftly the process was completed.
I graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2014 with a degree in Law with French, which included a year abroad studying French Law at the Université Paris-Sud XI in Paris. During my final year at University I elected to study The Principles of Healthcare Law and Ethics which fueled my desire to pursue a career in the complex field of Medical Negligence.
I am also a Fellow of Cilex.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and walking our cocker spaniel. I also enjoy Pilates.
