About
Jenny is Partner specialising in Medical Negligence cases. Jenny has extensive experience in complex clinical negligence claims on behalf of adults and children, with a recognised specialism in cerebral palsy and obstetric negligence claims. Jenny’s practice focuses on supporting families in cases where children have sustained serious injuries, most commonly neurological injuries, including cerebral palsy, arising around the time of birth.
These cases frequently involve the mismanagement of pregnancy, delays in delivery during labour or inadequate care during the neonatal period. Jenny has successfully secured multi-million-pound, life-changing settlements against a number of hospital trusts, including claims brought against Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust following the maternity services scandal. In addition to her maternity-related work, Jenny brings a depth of experience to complex medical negligence claims arising from failures to diagnose and treat cancer.
She also represents families in fatal claims, acting on behalf of those who have lost loved ones as a result of substandard medical care and provides considered, compassionate support throughout the claims process.
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.
- Obtaining a multi-million-pound settlement for a boy who at 4 years old had suffered a significant delay in diagnosis and treating communicating hydrocephalus, which resulted in the little boy obtaining permanent brain damage.
