The case involved a 5 year delay in diagnosing lung cancer, causing pain and suffering and ultimately, death. Sadly, Mr B was aware of the negligence before he died and had to endure chemotherapy and radiotherapy knowing it was not curative.

Liability was admitted by Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust very early on after the Letter of Claim and we have just settled it for £78,000.

Miss VB: “I am very happy with the excellent work carried out by Samantha Sims at Taylor Emmet. Samantha was extremely diligent and hard working in getting a good outcome on my case. She took the time to patiently explain anything I didn’t understand, in a manner that was clear and concise. Furthermore, Samantha arranged the relevant team to explain other aspects of my case to me, so I could make the best choices which benefitted me in the long run. Following a family bereavement, Samantha gave me the much needed time and space to take some time out. She exhibited empathy and patience which was very much appreciated. Samantha always got back to me promptly and without hesitation. As a result of my positive experience, I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone who wants a solicitor who will work hard to give her clients a favourable outcome.”
