Medical negligence claim

Pursuing a medical negligence claim isn’t something I ever thought I would do and it wasn’t a decision my husband and I took lightly, however the standard of care I received surrounding the births of both of my children and the subsequent life-changing physical and psychological injuries I have been left with, meant we had no choice but to speak out, seek accountability and pursue compensation. We were taken on as ‘no win, no fee’ by RWK Goodman, for which we will forever be grateful. My case was recently successfully resolved through an out-of-court settlement. The process has been long and extremely emotionally overwhelming. What made it bearable was the empathy, compassion and understanding shown by my solicitors, Hannah Blackwell and Sophie Angwin-Thornes. Everything about my experience and claim was deeply personal and extremely hard to discuss. Hannah and Sophie understood this fully. Hannah was very mindful in the early stages of how distressing some of the medical records and reports could be, sharing essential information while giving me the space to revisit the full details when I felt ready. I was so grateful for this. I always felt listened to and believed and that both Hannah and Sophie were genuinely behind me, supporting me and working incredibly hard to achieve the best outcome for me and my family. They explained each stage of the process clearly, kept me informed and were patient whenever I had questions or needed reassurance. Their empathy, professionalism and expertise gave me confidence during an incredibly difficult period, it allowed me to periodically emotionally step back, in secure knowledge that Hannah and Sophie were handling every aspect with care and diligence, and I genuinely don’t think I could have endured the process without their support. I am extremely grateful for the compassion they showed me and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone facing a similar situation.
