£149,000 for a mother who suffered psychological injuries following the death of her baby daughter

Ms H suffered significant psychological injuries when her baby sadly passed away as a result of the hospital failing to give her the whooping cough vaccine whilst she was pregnant.

Aston Knight Solicitors first represented Ms H at a four day inquest before a coroner and then brought a claim for negligence.

Liability was admitted quickly but the hospital?s solicitors continued to make low settlement offers. Aston Knight Solicitors threatened to take the matter to a trial before a Judge and following that further negotiations took place which resulted in a settlement of £149,000.

What made this result even more special was that before choosing Aston Knight Solicitors Ms H had spoken to a number of other law firms who all advised her that she did not have a case and any settlement would be low!
