New 1COR appointments to the Attorney General’s Panel of Counsel - Aug 2023
Clinical Negligence
Amelia regularly provides advice in writing and in conference, settles pleadings and attends hearings for clinical negligence matters. She represents both Claimants and Defendants.
Amelia has significant experience in cases involving fundamental dishonesty, having frequently appeared for Defendants, and cross-examined Claimants, in trials where fundamental dishonesty was in issue in her first few years of practice. She is therefore well-placed to both advise and represent parties at trial where allegations of fundamental dishonesty are raised.
Selected Cases
- Representing the Claimant’s estate in a claim alleging a failure to provide adequate care to a bed-bound patient, leading to preventable pressure sores.
- Representing the Claimant in a case concerning the delayed diagnosis of melanoma.
- Representing the Claimant in a claim alleging a failure to prescribe appropriate post-surgery prophylaxis to a patient known to be at raised risk of pulmonary embolism.
- Representing the Defendant Trust in a claim where the Claimant alleged a 4 day delay in diagnosing an abscess, leading ultimately to sepsis.
