Settlement reached in clinical negligence claim

Curzon Green recently agreed a substantial settlement for their client in a long-running clinical negligence matter. The case related to a serious injury suffered by the client during a surgical procedure. Further specifics of the matter cannot be disclosed due to a confidentiality agreement. Liability was strenuously denied by the defendant throughout the case. It was necessary to obtain expert medical evidence in three separate disciplines. After presenting the detailed medical evidence to the defendant, Curzon Green were able to negotiate a favourable settlement, plus recovery of the client’s legal costs. Curzon Green had taken on the case after another law firm declined to act following a negative assessment of the merits.
