Louise Sankhla secured early admission of liability for Joanna*, in a complex ophthalmic claim following significant delays in diagnosing and treating cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and papilloedema.

Joanna suffered permanent visual loss after delays in diagnosing and treating cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), despite being urgently referred for suspected papilloedema following worsening symptoms, including blurred vision and optic nerve swelling.

Multiple missed opportunities led to delays in specialist assessment, neuroimaging and treatment. As a result, Joanna was left with significant visual impairment, affecting her ability to work, drive and live independently.

Following a Letter of Claim, the Trust admitted failures in her care and accepted that earlier diagnosis and treatment would likely have prevented her visual loss. The claim will now proceed to assess the full extent of Joanna's injuries, financial losses and future care needs.

Natalie Amara secured a settlement against the Ministry of Defence on behalf of a former Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) worker who developed mesothelioma following asbestos exposure during the 1960s and 1970s.

Her client, Mr C worked with materials and processes that generated dust and fumes. He recalled asbestos being used extensively within the RAE because of its fireproofing properties.

The onset of his symptoms began in November 2024 with breathlessness. Mr C underwent a pleural biopsy in April 2025 and was diagnosed with epithelioid mesothelioma.

After being diagnosed with epithelioid mesothelioma in 2025, Mr C contacted the asbestos charity HASAG which assisted him with advice and with his benefits application forms.

They also provided him with a list of solicitors, Mr C chose to instruct Fieldfisher to pursue a compensation claim. He had read one of Natalie's previous case studies involving a former RAE apprentice who had also developed mesothelioma, giving him confidence in her expertise.

Using Mr C's records, specialist medical evidence and documents uncovered at the National Archives, Natalie demonstrated the use of asbestos-containing materials at the RAE. The Ministry of Defence subsequently admitted liability and agreed to make an interim payment, with the claim expected to settle this year.

More than 33 million rides found E-scooter users face a higher risk of traumatic brain injury than motorcyclists and cyclists.

One of the reasons behind the figures is that helmet use was found to be rare across all types of users.

It is still illegal in the UK to ride an E-scooter on public roads that is not part of a sanctioned rental scheme.

This effectively means that an uninsured, unregulated E-scooter rider involved in a serious collision has no means of accessing funds from an insurer to pay for medical treatment and rehabilitation, or the costs associated with injuring someone else while riding.

The NHS scheme to encourage GPs to speak to a consultant in A&G at a hospital (Advice and Guidance) rather than refer a patient to a specialist has been criticised for meaning some people with cancer are not being diagnosed and treated.

GPs can receive £20 for seeking specialist advice before referring patients to hospital under the NHS A&G scheme.

But an interim report by the Health Services Safety Investigations Body (HSSIB) published this month has said that poorly implemented NHS A&G processes 'have contributed to physical harm, missed diagnoses, and at least two patient deaths'.

It identified two cases where a cancer diagnosis was delayed, one, for a patient with suspected skin cancer, where, rather than referring the patient to hospital, the GP sent a photo to a specialist who did not examine the patient and missed the cancer, only for the patient to be diagnosed with melanoma six months later; and another where a patient's endometrial cancer was missed after an admin error when the GP tried to seek a specialist's advice.

HSSIB has called for a rapid review of A&G services and standardised templates for request advice and response from A&G are introduced to help prevent patients from falling through gaps in the system.

Bridget Collier successfully settled a mesothelioma claim on behalf of the widow of Dennis Lee, a quantity surveyor who was exposed to asbestos while working on construction projects at Marks & Spencer stores across the North of England and Scotland between the late 1970 and 1980s.

Mr Lee worked exclusively on the renovation, extension and construction of M&S premises, his role required him to regularly attend construction sites, often spending several days assessing progress and measuring completed works, including steelwork that had been clad in asbestos -containing materials.

He later developed mesothelioma and received immunotherapy but died at the age of 76.

The claim was strongly defended. However, a key witness was able to provide critical evidence in support of the claim. As a result, the defendant admitted liability and settlement negotiations commenced.
