EXPERIENCE

Laura was solicitor on the case of Ramdhean v Agedo. The case went to trial. It set precedent as establishing that a dental practice had owed a patient referred to it a non-delegable duty of care. This was in relation to advice and treatment provided by a self-employed dentist engaged by the practice. Further, the practice would be vicariously liable for any negligence proved against the dentist.

Laura has run several complex and high value scaphoid fracture claims.

"Friendly solicitor and listened to all our concerns with empathy. Kept us informed every step of the way."
