New NHS maternity data suggests that severe childbirth injuries are becoming more common, with third and fourth-degree tears increasing by almost 30% since 2021.

These serious injuries can have life-changing consequences, including chronic pain, incontinence, sexual dysfunction and psychological trauma. The figures have raised concerns about whether maternity services have the resources needed to identify, treat and follow up on complications effectively.

Natalie Amara secured a substantial settlement on behalf of the widow of an electrician who developed mesothelioma after decades of asbestos exposure while rewiring pubs, restaurants and prisons.

Throughout his career, Michael worked on domestic and commercial projects, where he was regularly exposed to asbestos-containing materials in switchgear, electrical installations and boiler houses.

In 2024, Michael was diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma, an aggressive cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Sadly, Michael died in September 2025, only weeks before the first court hearing.

His widow continued the claim on behalf of his estate. Natalie and the team took steps to ensure the proceedings could continue following Michael's death and prepared for a hearing.

The case settled shortly before a court hearing, providing accountability and financial security for his family.

Michael's wife praised Natalie and the team for their professionalism, support and dedication throughout the claim, saying they achieved a positive outcome during an incredibly difficult time.

Last week, Abby Bennett and Peter Williams from our Industrial Disease team attended Mesothelioma UK’s Patient and Carer Day 2026 in Leicester.

The event brought together patients, families and professionals to raise awareness of medical and policy developments, while highlighting the ongoing support available to those affected by mesothelioma.

It provided a valuable opportunity to listen, learn and connect with the people and organisations making a real difference.

Thank you to Mesothelioma UK for organising such a fantastic event and to everyone who took the time to speak with us.

Shivi Nathan secured an agreement on liability on behalf of a 16-year-old who developed athetoid cerebral palsy after suffering kernicterus as a premature newborn.

The claim alleged that failures to properly monitor and treat elevated bilirubin levels following his birth led to severe and permanent brain damage. As a result, he has significant physical and cognitive disabilities, requiring lifelong care and support.

Although the Trust initially denied liability, the case was successfully resolved following negotiations. Shivi will now pursue compensation to secure the specialist care, therapies, equipment and adapted accommodation he will need throughout his life.

Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson has agreed to pay more than £4 billion to settle a long legal battle involving 76,000 serious injury claims based in the US and elsewhere.

The offer must now be accepted by 95 per cent of the claimants in US state or federal court to become final.

J&J has also previously settled a swathe of cases claiming that its talc, which used to contain asbestos, caused mesothelioma.

In 2023, J&J stopped selling baby powder containing the mineral talc worldwide, replacing it with a formular containing corn starch.

Libby Ferrier successfully settled a claim for her client Julia* after a failure to diagnose her caesarean scar pregnancy which led to a traumatic and avoidable hysterectomy and significant physical and psychological injuries.

Despite early scan findings indicating a pregnancy implanted within a previous caesarean section scar, the diagnosis was missed and the pregnancy progressed.

Julia later underwent complex surgery, including a hysterectomy, which permanently affected her ability to carry further children.

After the birth, her baby daughter was treated in the neonatal intensive care unit but died a week later due to a complex congenital cardiac disease and Pontine Tegmental Cap Dysplasia.

The Trust admitted that, with appropriate care, Julia would have been referred for specialist assessment and would have chosen early treatment, avoiding the life-changing surgery.

Following extensive investigations, Libby secured a settlement that recognised the profound impact of the negligence, including the need for future surrogacy arrangements to help Julia and her husband complete their family.

Adam Curry settled a claim for his client Mark* who suffered a serious brain injury and other significant injuries after being struck by a motorcyclist whilst crossing the road.

The accident caused a diffuse axonal brain injury, significant facial and dental injuries, and psychological trauma. Adam quickly obtained interim payments to fund private rehabilitation, treatment and therapy, ensuring Mark could access specialist support without delay.

Throughout the claim, Adam worked closely with a multidisciplinary team of leading medical experts to develop a comprehensive understanding of Mark's injuries and long-term prognosis before a settlement was finally reached.

Due to his determination and resilience, Mark was able to return to his demanding role and continue his successful career in the city.
