Express Solicitors help victim of misdiagnosis recover £6.5 million in damages

The legal battle for just compensation

Express Solicitors partner, Daniel Slade, represented Mr A in pursuing claims against Pinnacle PSG Ltd and the Homerton University Hospitals NHS Trust in a nine year legal battle. Each party was permitted to rely on evidence provided by medical and employment experts in order to state their case. This was a long fight during which spurious claims were brought against the Claimant in an attempt to discredit his case.

As it soon became evident that there were many medical records missing from Mr Qamar’s clinics, the Claimant also suspected that he was being recorded and tested by other parties. A suspect package of lipstick was delivered to his home address despite having never been ordered, which the delivery driver insisted Mr A sign for personally regardless of being advised by the family that he was in a wheelchair and couldn’t come to the door.

The defending parties were keen to pin the blame for Mr A’s disabling symptoms on any other circumstance. These included the assertion that he was from a family of married cousins, that he was suffering from ‘a primary underlying myopathy’, and that he was carrying a defective gene. Despite having to go through multiple invasive tests, the Claimant proved all these accusations to be utterly false.
