Took the time to listen to my specific case and were honest enough to give their opinion on the potential outcome(s).
Infected blood claims
We at Summerfield Browne were saddened to read of the findings published by the Infected Blood Inquiry. In the 1970s, 80s and 90s, around 30,000 people suffering haemophilia contracted disease when treated with a blood product known as Factor VIII which was contaminated with HIV and Hepatitis C.
The Inquiry recommended that the UK Government should offer any person treated with a blood transfusion before 1996 a test for Hepatitis C. The full extent of victims of the infected blood scandal is therefore not yet known.
If you or a loved one has contracted a disease which you think may have come from treatment involving contaminated blood and wish to pursue a claim for compensation, please contact us.

In order for your personal injury claim to succeed it must be shown that there is a duty of care in existence. This could be a general duty of care, or a statutory duty of care. It must then be proven that a breach of that duty has occurred, leading to actionable damage. The claim must also pass both the factual causation test and the legal causation test, with no new intervening acts having occurred. If your claim passes these stages then you may be able to bring a claim against the defendant who is in breach of their duty, and secure a remedy for damages.
Summerfield Browne Solicitors will aim to reach a final settlement, that will give you the compensation you need and deserve. Our team of specialist PI lawyers will robustly negotiate on your behalf, and endeavour to obtain the best settlement for you as soon as possible.
