Medical Negligence

Biography

How can I help you?

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:

  • Obstetric and gynecological injury, including birth injury to the mother and infertility
  • Sepsis claims
  • General surgical claims
  • Brain injury
  • Baby birth injuries
  • Cardiology claims
  • General Practice (GP) claims
  • DVT and PE claims

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:

  • £225,000 for a mother who suffered PTSD and infertility following a negligent termination of pregnancy
  • £770,000 for the family and estate of a mother who died following dental surgery
  • £32,000 for a delayed diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy
  • £2.7 million for a child who lost their vision following brain injury
  • £225,000 for a mother who suffered nerve injury following the birth of her baby
  • £75,000 for a man who suffered nerve injury to his hand following a blood test

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.

Further information

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.
