Actress receives financial award after life-changing missed cancer diagnosis.
Jodi Newton acted for a client who was belatedly diagnosed with laryngeal cancer. She was an actress and director, and her career depended on using her voice. She now relies on a remote control device to speak, and while she survived stage 3 cancer, she suffered life-changing injuries and underwent multiple invasive surgical procedures.
This was a complex claim, and following commencing court proceedings, a settlement was negotiated for over £300,000.
