£10,000 obtained for negligent surgery

Posted 16/07/2013

Julie Crossley, a medical injury specialist at Ashtons Legal, has obtained a £10,000 settlement for Mrs S from Suffolk, whose bowel was perforated during surgery for endometriosis. This was not recognised promptly and she then suffered from peritonitis. Fortunately Mrs S has made a good recovery following further treatment but the short-term impact on her life and that of her family during her illness and recovery was considerable.
