Sally had sought legal help after she had to undergo an amputation of her right leg as a result of arterial thrombosis. She felt that her GP had ignored earlier symptoms and failed to appreciate how serious her condition was until it was too late.

A medical expert opinion concluded that the leg would have been saved, on balance of probabilities, if an earlier referral had been made by the GP. Additionally, a diary produced by Sally that had been kept through the relevant period clearly documented the symptoms and the exact dates.

We successfully settled this difficult claim out of Court for £260,000.
