Clare's Story

“Thompsons they were magnificent…I was extremely pleased with the settlement.”  Clare

“I was misdiagnosed 3 times and because of that have brain damage that will affect the rest of my life.

I had major brain surgery, which I later learned probably saved my life.

I had to learn to walk and speak again and did so

But I have damage to my short term memory, and have difficulties with disorientated thinking.

I had to give up my work, too – I was a psychiatric nurse. It was a job I loved and I still miss it very much and I miss the friends I used to work with.

I tried to go back but it just wasn’t possible.

I became extremely angry about what had happened to me.

Thompsons they were magnificent.

I was nearing the end of the legal time limit in which you can make a claim like mine.
So Thompsons moved quickly but always explaining each step on the way.

And while doing so they were also very supportive and understanding.

My father handled all the paperwork - I couldn’t, and he says Thompsons were ‘very efficient very, very good’.

They were very thorough at going into all our costs arising from what happened to me - right down to train fares and all sorts of out of pocket expenses.

And, of course, they had the same thoroughness at projecting my future needs and those costs.

As my case was being prepared it became obvious that Thompsons have a really good network of useful contacts, too – medical experts from various specialised fields and all sorts of other specialists including experts on what home modifications I need.

For example, for my children’s safety and my own I need halogen warning lights to prevent me leaving the gas on, or in case I leave the bath running.

And Thompson’s QC really fought for me and fought hard.

I was extremely pleased with the settlement and I try to be optimistic that I can make some more progress.

With the help of a brilliant brain injury co-ordinator I now have a PA who comes to my home one-day a week.

My goal is to become more independent. And I hope to become a mature student.”
