Case Highlights
Jenny’s case highlights include:
- Securing a settlement comprising a substantial lump sum and annual periodical payments for life, with a total capitalised value in excess of £22 million, for a girl who sustained a birth injury as a result of negligent delays in delivery. In addition, a series of interim payments were obtained during the course of the claim – to enable the family to move to more suitable accommodation and to access appropriate educational provision and essential support services.
- Obtaining settlement of over £18 million pounds, which included a lump sum and annual payments for life, on behalf of a little girl who suffered cerebral palsy due to the mismanagement of her mother’s labour, resulting in her being deprived of oxygen at birth.
