“I just wanted to let you know some good news – the case settled yesterday at RTM. We were able to achieve a fantastic settlement. The client was thrilled with the outcome. I wanted to pass on my thanks for all your hard work on this complex case. It wouldn’t have been possible without great experts, such as yourself. I look forward to working with you in the future on other matters.”

Jane S
“I regularly instruct Sally Thomson on complex clinical negligence claims of significant value for the consistent quality, attention to detail and rigour she provides. Also, for the excellent communication and helpfulness by the whole team at Westcare.”
Siobhan D
“I am delighted to confirm that the parties have settled this claim in a settlement meeting today. We managed to reduce the Claimant’s pleaded losses down to a significantly reduced figure (less than a quarter of the originally pleaded figure). This would not have been possible without your extremely helpful assistance; the client and I are incredibly grateful.”
