THE TYPE OF CASE WE DO

Mr Benterman died aged ? leaving behind his wife and 19 month old son Michael following a routine tonsillectomy.

After surgery he was left unchecked by the medical staff over a number of hours while he haemorrhaged (leading to blockage of the neck, cardiac arrest, and death?)

Rebecca Hewitt of Darbys Solicitors LLP achieved a significant financial settlement shortly before what would otherwise have been a fiercely contested trial.

Michael's mother says:

"No amount of money will change what happened to my husband and that Michael will never have the chance to know his father. This has been a long time coming but I always strongly felt that this shouldn't have been allowed to happen. I hope that lessons have been learned and this doesn't happen to anyone else. The money for Michael will hopefully provide him with some security for his future.”
