$500,000 Settlement Following Nerve Damage From Varicose Veins Treatment

Due to the negative impacts the client’s injury had on her day-to-day life, she decided to reach out to Gerard Malouf & Partners to enquire about a potential medical negligence claim. Medical Negligence Lawyer2, Susan Newman, handled his case.

Supported by our expert’s opinion, Susan argued, on behalf our client, that had the short saphenous vein been identified both pre-operatively and during the operation, the injury could have been avoided. The failure of the surgeon to plan for the surgical incision dissection caused the current injuries and disabilities of our client.

On the basis of this expert evidence, we were able to commence proceedings against the surgeon. Our client enter into settlement negotiations between the parties by way of a mediation. Susan Newman and her team, including an expert barrister, negotiated a settlement of $500,000, which our client was very pleased with.

At Gerard Malouf and Partners, we pride ourselves on assisting those who are mistreated, misdiagnosed and inadequately cared for by the health system. We are highly specialised and focussed medical negligence lawyers with our firm being small enough to care intimately for our clients, but large enough to have the solid, financial, medical and expert resources our clients need to match the big insurers we fight every day.
