Medical Negligence

Biography

I started training to qualify as a solicitor at Tees in March 2022 and spent 12 months of my training with the Medical Negligence team across the Cambridge, Chelmsford, and Bishop’s Stortford offices. I have been working as a Medical Negligence Solicitor at Tees since I qualified in March 2024, running my own caseload alongside assisting highly experienced colleagues with complex cases across a wide range of specialisms.

Medical Negligence cases are often emotional and overwhelming for clients, which is why I am committed to ensuring that your concerns are listened to, you are kept updated at every point of your claim, and every aspect of your claim is explained in a way that makes sense to you.

I also appreciate that many clients want to understand what has happened to them and why, and they often hope to prevent the same from happening again to somebody else. I take an empathetic approach in my work, not only working to secure financial compensation but also helping clients to understand what has happened to them, and where possible, what has been done to prevent the same from happening again to somebody else.

Further information

Although I am now based in the Chelmsford office, I have worked in almost every Tees office throughout my career!
Outside of work, I love to travel (not just up and down the M11!) and spending time with friends and family. I also love reading and spending hours in antique shops searching for home décor to fill my 120-year-old-home.

Client quote

“Having not been through this process before it was extremely daunting to reach out; however from first contact to settlement I was well supported. Everything was explained in detail and followed up in writing so I had time to read and understand what was happening.

Opening up and reliving the events has been mentally challenging, Chantae was incredible in listening to the concerns I raised about my care and taking on the case. Even going on maternity leave and returning during the case didn’t disrupt or delay anything. Kaya seamlessly continued with contact and updates while working on the case and any e-mails or calls of a sensitive nature were approached with kindness and patience from all.

Thank you both I appreciate the compassion you both showed and the result was down to your knowledge and determination in obtaining a fair settlement.”
