Notable settlements

Claim against Michael Walsh

In August 2020, Tamlin secured compensation for a patient who suffered an injury after undergoing an outdated operation, at the hands of Michael Walsh. Mr Walsh, an orthopaedic surgeon, was reported to be at the centre of multiple medical negligence claims, because of unnecessary and poorly executed procedures he had performed on his patients. Tamlin was among the first in the country to successfully secure compensation for one of his patients. This settlement was reported on in the Guardian.

Medical negligence claim for a footballer

Tamlin secured £22,000 compensation for a young footballer, who was unable to play for four years after negligent surgery to repair an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Wrongly diagnosed with cancer

Tamlin secured £42,000 in compensation for a client who was wrongly diagnosed with cancer, which caused her six years of investigations and anxiety. The Sun reported on this story.
