Boyes Turner secure compensation following delay in diagnosis of meningitis

  • Posted

Boyes Turner secured a 57.5% liability settlement in favour of 23 year old, Joanne* who developed a severe brain injury after a delay in diagnosis and treatment of meningitis in February 1990.

Joanne has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy affecting both her physical and intellectual function as a result of the meningitis.

The case settled five weeks before trial on the basis of a 57.5/42.5% liability split in Joanne’s favour and has now been approved by the High Court in London.

The case is in the process of being valued.  In the meantime, money has now been received from the hospital on account of compensation so that financial assistance can be given to both Joanne and her family immediately.

They have a great deal of knowledge and expertise, and client care seems to be their top priority.
