Specialist Clinical Negligence Solicitor, Anita Marriot has settled a claim arising out of the failure to investigate and treat a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), resulting in a fatal pulmonary embolism.

For a period of a year the Claimant attended her General Practitioner with concerns about a lump in her breast. She was not examined nor referred to a breast clinic.

The patient presented at his General Practitioner on a number of occasions suffering with flu-like symptoms. Blood tests were taken but the General Practitioner did not respond to increases in the patient’s white blood cell (WBC) count and CRP results.

Katie Nairne, specialist clinical negligence lawyer, has recently settled a claim relating to delayed diagnosis and treatment of Paget’s disease.
