Veritas Solicitors secured £65,000 in compensation for our client in a medical negligence claim relating to cervical cancer care, screening, and diagnosis. The settlement reflected the impact of substandard care and the strength of the evidence presented.
Background to the claim
Failures in cervical screening, referral, follow-up, or treatment can have life-changing consequences. Where care falls below the standard reasonably expected, patients may have grounds for a medical negligence claim.
In this case, we reviewed the clinical records, timelines, and correspondence to establish how the care provided departed from appropriate practice and what harm resulted.
Our legal approach
We worked closely with our client to understand their experience, instructed suitable medical experts where needed, and built a clear narrative of breach of duty and causation.
Our team presented the claim robustly in negotiations, focusing on the physical and emotional impact of the negligence as well as financial losses where applicable.
Outcome
The matter was resolved with a settlement of £65,000, providing recognition of the harm suffered and support for our client’s recovery and future needs.
