We Can Help You To Claim For:

A Hampshire student who agreed to an out-of-court settlement of £815,000 after an alleged hospital error caused permanent damage to her bladder.

A 54-year-old Dorset HGV driver who was injured after trying to reposition a load that had slipped on his lorry agreed to a £225,000 settlement. He alleged that two Dorset GPs failed to identify his rapidly advancing neurological symptoms in time and failed to refer him for prompt emergency treatment.

A 49-year-old senior recruitment manager who experienced back pain while on holiday agreed to a £600,000 settlement after clinicians allegedly:
- failed to analyse adequately an MRI scan she underwent on her return to the UK
- failed to transfer her for urgent assessment or emergency surgery.

A 40-year-old factory worker who gained £550,000 after a surgeon operated on the wrong part of his spine, leaving him with permanent nerve damage and complex chronic pain.

For Lydia Barnett, Partner:

“I don’t even know where to begin with this. l’ll try my best not to be emotional writing this but l will start with, Thank you for dealing with my son’s negligence case.

From the day you picked up my email years ago, l knew we were in good hands. Your professionalism, the ability to communicate, understand and empathise is unparalleled. As a mother this was a very emotional situation to have gone through. You have handled this case with my son’s interest throughout. The treatments he received is all down to your work and resilience to never giving up or settling to the easier route.

I can’t thank you enough for helping us and getting the highest possible settlement for my son. I know it will take time to cure all the trauma but thank you for helping us with the process to healing.

I will always be grateful and l highly recommend your services. ”

For David Simpson, Partner and Head of the Medical Negligence Department:

“It is so refreshing dealing with a firm of such honesty and integrity. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Coles Miller to my friends and family.”

For Lydia Barnett, Partner:

“After undergoing surgery I was left infertile. I had my initial consultation with Lydia in which she made me feel completely at ease. She understood the physical and psychological implications of my claim. These types of claims can take a long time and I was concerned it would have a big impact on my life. Lydia has always been professional, honest and thoughtful and contacted me only when required. She always got back to me quickly when I have had questions. I cannot recommend Lydia and Coles Miller enough.”

For David Simpson, Partner and Head of the Medical Negligence Department:

“Just wanted to say I’ve just returned from holiday and find that my claim has now been settled and paid .

I wanted to thank you so much for your support over the past 18 months .

Being neglected by my own collegues in the hospital where I have worked for 35 years was truly devastating . I am hoping that the whole cardiac team have learnt something from my case . So that patients particularly women are taken more seriously in future when they arrive at hospital with chest pain .

Anyway it’s time for me to move on as much as I can with my life , after all it could have been a very different outcome ! Thanks again .”
