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
