Forbes Solicitors supported Angela with a clinical negligence claim after she suffered at the hands of medical professionals, resulting in devastating repercussions for her child. Complications which arose during the birth of her daughter unfortunately caused Leona to suffer from brain damage and she now requires constant care.

We have provided lifelong support for both Angela and Leona, where we have been involved for almost 15 years. In such a severe case, after the damages have been awarded we continue to work as a Court Appointed Deputy to oversee the use of funds in the right way throughout the injured, in this case, Leona's lifetime. At Forbes, our provision does not just end when the case is settled; we are dedicated to ensuring you receive the utmost care going beyond the completion period.

Angela spoke to Forbes Solicitors about her ordeal and how it's had an impact on family life at home. She also discusses how the compensation amount has helped improve the quality of Leona's life.
