Clinical Negligence

Great win against the Met Police

I approached maybe more than ten legal businesses and one total failure before a contact suggested Watson Woodhouse. It appeared that the majority do not want to take on cases against the police. Sarah Magson from WW took on my claim for injury during transport by the Met. She took it on a ‘No win no fee basis’. I would recommend her to all seeking a winning team. Even when one barrister refused to assist, Sarah persisted and found a barrister prepared to act without upfront fees. She was always prompt to respond, on one occasion her email reply came back during the weekend, that is client support of the highest level. In a video linked court case, the driver of the police vehicle had memory loss, acceptable. The escorting police officer fabricated his witness statement, my barrister took him apart. He had failed to follow Policy rules applying to the transport. My case took nearly 5 years to get to court, but some of the delay was Covid 19 related. So if you need a real fighter to champion your legal claim, go to Watson Woodhouse.
