THE TYPE OF CASE WE DO

Aged 8 Graham became acutely ill, feverish and disorientated.  

The GP was called, he assessed Graham and considered he was well enough to remain at home.

Later that morning Graham's mother called the GP surgery to report that Graham had gone down hill.

There was a delay in the surgery informing the GP.

When the GP was informed he advised Graham be rushed to hospital where he was treated for meningitis and septicaemia.

Graham recovered from his infection however required bilateral below knee amputations.

Graham adjusted during his school years however after leaving school Graham was unable to find suitable work.

Graham instructed Helen Niebuhr of Darbys Solicitors LLP

It was Graham's case that he GP should have arranged for him to be admitted to hospital some three and a half hours earlier.

It was Graham's case that treatment three and a half hours earlier would have improved his recovery such that he would have avoided bilateral below knee amputations although he would probably have required bilateral mid foot amputations.

Graham's case was valued at in excess of £1,500,000

Shortly before trial settlement was agreed at £1,300,000
