About
Tim is a Partner specialising in both medical negligence and serious injury cases. Tim represents individuals who have suffered harm as a result of negligence by GPs, surgeons or other medical professionals in both NHS and private healthcare settings. He secures compensation to support his clients’ ongoing healthcare needs, home adaptations and loss of earnings.
The claims Tim handles include misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis and surgical errors leading to avoidable complications, life-changing injuries such as brain and spinal injuries or death. In addition to this medical negligence practice, Tim undertakes serious injury work, including claims arising from fatal and catastrophic road traffic accidents, accidents at work, defective products and claims against social services.
Tim acts for both adults and children who have suffered medical negligence or catastrophic injury, supporting not only those with severe injuries, including brain injuries, but also their families who are responsible for managing care, as well as bereaved families in cases of fatal injury.
Case Highlights
- Obtaining a lump sum of £1.5 million and an annual index-linked payment of £115,000 to cover the 24-hour care costs for a child who suffered serious brain injury when a hospital failed to recognise an infection.
- Negotiating compensation of £520,000 for a lady who suffered from permanent incontinence and bowel damage following radio-therapy, a treatment which was only required because pre-cancerous changes had not been identified on historical smear tests.
- Securing a six figure settlement against social services for failing to protect a child from a major assault by his biological father which led to a life changing brain injury and his premature death some 20 years later.
- Obtaining a substantial settlement for a client who will now require a heart transplant due to a simple failure by A&E to carry out an ECG when he attended following a collapse at work.
