Very Professional

5

Liz Smith handles my case in a very professional and considerate manner. It was a lengthy process but Liz stayed on top of everything and communicated well, always keeping me informed quickly of any developments. Liz acknowledged the result that we set out to achieve and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending or using Liz again in future.

Terminal Liver Cancer Could Have Been Avoided

5

My husband was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer in December 2019. A couple of months afterwards he received a letter from his GP Practice which said when reviewing his pathway it had become apparent he had several abnormal liver blood results dating back as far as 2006; and they apologised if this had let to his subsequent terminal cancer.

My husband broke down when he read the letter, as if they had they carried out further tests/investigations years earlier, he would not be in the position he was in of having terminal cancer. I and my children has been affected by this greatly and my daughter has had to have counselling.

Elizabeth Smith took on the case from my husband’s instructions and I took over when my husband sadly passed away in December 2021. Elizabeth has been amazing, she has kept me informed of proceedings at every step, very supportive, sensitive and caring and nothing was too much to ask and she always got back to me very quickly if I had a question. After two years the case was resolved and settled for £345,000.

I have got justice for my husband and this will help with the healing process of losing a loving husband, father and granddad.

I would highly recommend these solicitors and would use again if I need further assistance with anything.

Thank you Elizabeth and your team at Wolferstans.
