Samantha Critchley acted in
the claim for personal injury,
loss and expense incurred arising out of defective breast
implants that were implanted in Lesley during an operation on
11th January 2000.
The implants which were manufactured by the defendant, was
subsequently found to have ruptured at the end of August 2002 and
were removed. Considerable trauma was caused.
Lesley required extensive physiotherapy and has experienced
distress at residual scarring. She felt unable to have any further
breast augmentation procedures.
The expert concluded
that both implants ruptured prematurely at the same point of
initiation and that the likely cause was a manufacturers defect in
both implants.
In view of the litigation risks, the claimant decided to accept
the sum of £10,000 plus her reasonable legal costs.
