Clinical Negligence

Tom is experienced in a variety of clinical negligence matters, including claims arising from dental, GP, hospital and physiotherapy treatment. Instructions have included requests to draft pre-action correspondence under the protocol, as well as conduct of matters once issued. As well as claims against the NHS, Tom has experience of claims concerning private hospitals, partnerships and the military.

Tom acts for both claimants and defendants.

Tom’s PI practice has involved matters whereby cosmetic surgery is in issue (either in terms of injury undermining such previous surgery or where cosmetic surgery is recommended in the future) and so he is well placed to deal with clinical negligence claims arising in the cosmetic field.

In 2018 Tom was instructed as a junior in a multi-million pound child brain injury case. The claim arises from a negligent failure to respond to hypoglycaemia shortly after birth.

Examples of recent cases include:

  • Disabled claimant suffering further harm as a result of sub-standard care; complex causation dispute value in the millions.
