Sarah has specialised in acting exclusively on behalf of patients and their families for over 18 years. She has dealt with a broad range of cases throughout her career including amputation, brain injury, delayed diagnosis of cancer claims, still birth and ophthalmic cases.
Sarah is committed to providing a bespoke service to her clients, responding to their needs and requirements with a flexible approach to achieve the best outcomes.
Sarah supports Campaign for Safer Births which was set up by Michelle Hemmington and co founder, Nicky Lyon, following the death of her baby boy Louie due to clinical negligence. The aim of the campaign is to provide practical help and support for other parents in similar circumstances and also to change the law around inquests for still births. Michelle's story is included in Sarah's "insights" shown below.
Work highlights include:
- representing an amputee client and successfully obtaining a multi million pound settlement
- acting for a client who sustained a gynaecological injury and as a result lost her fertility. Sarah was successful in obtaining the costs of USA surrogacy costs
- representing an elderly client who lost her sight as a result of negligence and successfully secured funds for her to buy a bungalow as she was no longer able to live in her mobile home
- acting for a widow whose husband died as a result of late diagnosis of bowel cancer. The settlement means that our client and her two young children will be financially secure for the rest of their lives.
- successfully obtaining damages for the costs of IVF for a client who lost his fertility due to historic medical treatment
