Abbie Roberts

Notable Cases

• Settlement (£1 million) for a protected party against a hospital Trust following the delayed diagnosis of a spinal epidural haematoma following scoliosis surgery. The Claimant was sustained left sided neurological weakness, bladder and bowel dysfunction. There were pre-existing conditions to take in to consideration when assessing the right level of damages.

• Settlement award of £250,000 for my client who sustained permanent median nerve destruction in her left hand and complex regional pain syndrome, following negligently performed carpal tunnel surgery.

• Settlement award of £160,000 for my client who sustained physical and psychiatric injuries arising out of delayed diagnosis and treatment for a perforated bowel leading to ischaemia and necrosis.

Client Comments

• “Having fractured my wrist in 2015, I was under the care of a hospital. Whilst initially their treatment was fair, my following appointment from the injury was horrendous. The poor treatment from a doctor subsequently led to multiple surgeries and a lot of pain. Feeling there was negligence involved, I contacted Hodge Jones and Allen Solictors to see if they could help. Nearly 6 years later after the fantastic work from Abbie, Sonia and all their work colleagues I have finally found justice! I would like to particularly highlight the hard work from both Abbie and Sonia. Incredibly helpful and outstanding professionalism, they are a huge reason as to why my claim has settled. Fantastic and a lot of hard work by them. I couldn’t rate them highly enough!”

• “I have had great pleasure in using HJA. I have been through the toughest 6 years and thanks to Abbie I won my case. I could not have done this without her and the kind help I got from other members of staff who helped with extra bits I needed i.e. will. They made this as smooth as can be ensuring I knew everything in ways I could understand. I felt like my copy matter and had control of my case. I would definitely recommend HJA and I will definitely use them again. They have helped my future look a bit clearer and happy, many thanks.”

• “I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for mum and I throughout this. Words don’t seem adequate but I will be eternally grateful for that fact that you listened, not once have I ever doubted that you genuinely cared and you have fought for her when the people who should have done in the first place failed to… you and the firm have genuine empathy for your clients.” SW
