Diane Rostron, a complex birth injuries specialist law firm, has been ranked as one of the leading medical negligence practices in the North West in national directory Legal 500.
Ranked side by side once again with significantly larger law firms in this competitive category, the team is described as having ‘the depth of expertise in terms of medicine, law, practicalities and tactical thinking … unmatched elsewhere’.
Leading the team, Diane Rostron said: “We are delighted to be recognised again for the excellent advice and service delivered to a national client base in a highly specialised, and increasingly difficult, area of law.
“We pride ourselves on being a small North based team attracting instructions from clients across England and Wales predominantly representing families who have suffered the loss of their baby, or families whose child has been catastrophically injured at birth, due to avoidable medical errors”.
The team secured nearly £30 million in compensation for clients last year and represented the family at the high profile inquest of toddler Ella Rose Clover who died as a result of months of physical abuse which was missed by multiple doctors.
