We have issued proceedings
against Godstone farm on behalf of Todd and Aaron Furnell,
twins exposed to E.Coli 0157.
This follows the publication of the Health
Protection Agency’s report into the outbreak which came out earlier
this week.
Both of the twins, now aged three, suffered
kidney failure and spent weeks in hospital after being infected
with E.Coli 0157. Todd now has only 80% kidney function and Aaron’s
is just 64%. Aaron still uses a feeding tube for ingesting liquids
and both may need kidney transplants in the future.
The twins mother Tracy Mock has instructed
Jill Greenfield, personal injury partner
at Field Fisher Waterhouse, to bring the claim in the
High Court. The claim is for damages for personal injury and consequential loss.
Field Fisher Waterhouse represents 17 families
including 25 children and one adult. The twins cases have been
issued on as lead cases. The others, it is expected, will be added
to the litigation at a later stage.
For further information or if you believe you have an E Coli legal claim, please contact
