Serious and catastrophic injury

Brain, spinal & cauda equina claims

Clinically informed investigation of complex neurological injury arising from delayed diagnosis, surgery, anaesthesia or hospital treatment.

Scott and his team

Careful case selection.
Meticulous preparation.

Each potential instruction is considered on its own facts, with attention to the clinical chronology, expert evidence, causation, proportionality and the client's objectives.

The medical detail matters

Neurological cases often turn on a narrow window of opportunity: the timing of deterioration, imaging, escalation or intervention. Scott's clinical background informs the initial analysis of observations, symptoms and clinical decision-making.

Hypoxic and acquired brain injury
Spinal cord injury
Cauda equina syndrome
Stroke misdiagnosis or delayed treatment
Anaesthetic and surgical injury
Failure to recognise neurological deterioration

Causation must be proved

It is not enough to identify substandard care. The expert evidence must address what would probably have happened with competent treatment, including the likely residual disability and any unavoidable injury.

Restoring independence

Compensation may fund care, rehabilitation, therapies, adapted accommodation, assistive technology, professional case management and financial protection.
