Medical accident claim against Musgrove Park hospital

Case study of a successful medical accident claim against Musgrove Park hospital in Taunton following a surgical error

If you are looking for experienced local solicitors to deal with a medical accident claim against Musgrove Park hospital, or any other hospital in England and Wales, then call us for a free case assessment and details of our No Win, No Fee funding scheme on 0333 888 0412 or email us at [email protected]

Our Somerset-based medical negligence team was asked to help a Taunton woman who suffered injury during a medical procedure when a nurse tripped over a cable. This caused fluid to leak from a medical instrument which at the time was inside the patient’s womb.

As a result of the medical accident the leaked fluid burnt our client’s cervix and the site of the burn subsequently became infected.

We agreed to pursue a medical accident compensation claim against the hospital in Somerset on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Following an agreement with the hospital to extend the three year time period to bring a compensation claim, settlement negotiations took place.

Having been presented with a strong case the hospital accepted responsibility for the woman’s injuries. Steps were then taken to quantify the value of the compensation claim. To aid us in this task we obtained reports from independent medical medical experts.

After lengthy discussions with the hospital’s legal representatives, an agreement was finally reached for an out of court settlement of the claimant’s clinical negligence claim. She received a sum of £35,000.00, together with payment of her legal costs.

What our clients say about us

Here is just a short selection of some of the reviews that our clients have left for our clinical negligence team:

Maddy Lawrence

“With the premature death of our eldest daughter, as it turned out, by clinical negligence, we were facing a very difficult journey both in proving fault and keeping heart and soul together. That we were able to, in terms of the fault element, was down to our professional legal team. They provided clear, calm and compassionate advice which got us through a horrendous inquest and subsequent legal maneuverers. They, in short, were magnificent and we are extremely grateful that we had them on our side.”

Great firm!

“I had an experience with Oliver Thorne who was nothing but helpful with settling my claim. He was very patient and professional as well as making sure I was happy and content throughout the whole process! Would highly recommend him if you’re looking for a solicitor!”

Compassionate, thorough, and outstanding legal support thus far

”Jade was incredibly friendly, taking the time to ask all the right questions and thoroughly investigate our case. Unlike previous solicitors, who dismissed us, Jade and the team at Slee Blackwell delved deeper and gave us renewed hope. We are extremely grateful for the dedication and professionalism in fighting for us. I would recommend Slee Blackwell to anyone in need of legal assistance.”

Mesh claim

“I cannot thank the team enough there understanding and empathy and the knowledge is outstanding. Caroline has been supportive every step of the way, she has informed me and kept me updated how the claim has progressed she has also had great understanding around my mental health and the physical damage I have occurred. I cannot thank the team enough. The team made this experience easier for me to deal with my emotional distress and pain.”

Thank you

“On behalf of all of us, we would like to thank you for your guidance, professionalism, humanity and kindness you have shown us all throughout this process. You have explained everything to us in clear and concise terms throughout and we are extremely grateful. We would have no hesitation recommending you and using your services in future. Thank you.”

Exceptional Service

“I have received expert advice throughout my case, the attention to detail is second to none. Their professional outlook and relatability means that I always recommend the firm. When I was unclear of any information or possible outcomes they took the time to speak with me on a personal level, confirming our conversation through email, I feel supported and understood and most of all they are empathetic, something that is often missing from large firms.”

Friendly, professional, knowledgeable.

“Oliver assisted me in the aftermath of my father’s sudden death in hospital. He helped me to draught my initial letter of complaint to the health authority, represented me and my mother at the inquest and ultimately succeeded in bringing a successful claim. I always felt I could approach Oliver with any questions and he would explain the legal processes in an understandable way. I would not hesitate to recommend him should anyone find themselves in a similar unfortunate position.”

Excellent solicitor

“I cannot recommend this firm highly enough and especially Caroline who is professional approachable and thorough, she works tirelessly and is a real credit to the firm, you are not made to feel like just a number as with other firms, it’s a pleasure to have such an excellent solicitor to represent you when you have gone through so much she is so understanding and knowledgeable.”
