Admitted negligence in the context of bilateral popliteal artery aneurysms where the patient underwent above knee amputation.
Charlotte Robinson-Jones specialises in personal injury and clinical negligence law, representing both claimants and defendants.
With an eye for detail and a logical approach, she has been instructed in a wide range of matters from straightforward infant approvals through to, more recently, an amputation case with a pleaded value in excess of £1 million.
In addition to attending court, Charlotte is regularly sought after for advice on issues of liability and quantum on paper and in conference. She is happy to consider matters on a Conditional Fee basis where appropriate.
Charlotte’s experience of clinical negligence cases started during her pupillage and has continued to this day. She advises on liability and quantum in writing and in conference, and attends hearings up to and including trial. She enjoys the particular challenges that clinical negligence work brings, including the variety of medical specialisms that she encounters and the necessity of getting to grips with complicated expert evidence in a short period of time.
Charlotte has experience of cases against GPs, private medical professionals and NHS trusts. In addition, she has dealt with medical claims arising from care provided in a care/nursing home environment, for example the development of pressure sores.
Charlotte has experience advising in cases against dental practitioners. This has covered both routine and cosmetic dentistry, from minor damage or loss of a tooth, through to significant tooth loss and the need for extensive restoration work.
Charlotte has recently advised in a case of above knee amputation following admitted negligence by a hospital trust a number of years previously. The Claimant has been left with a very significant impact on his life, and his claim is currently pleaded in excess of £1 million.
Charlotte has experience of cases involving a range of cancers, from those that are cured completely through to terminal cases, and so understands the particular difficulties that can arise in terms of breach, causation and quantification.
Charlotte has advised in a number of cases involving obstetric and gynaecological issues, and understands the sensitivities involved in such cases.
Charlotte has been involved in cases covering a range of medical and surgical issues, including failures by GPs, NHS trusts and private medical professionals. These have involved patients who both have full capacity and those who have lacked capacity due to either mental or physical impairment, or as a result of being a child.

Charlotte has a strong personal injury practice. She regularly attends trial for road traffic accident claims, a significant number of which include issues of fundamental dishonesty. Her keen eye for detail is invaluable in such cases, whether representing Claimants or Defendants. Charlotte is also happy to receive instructions in relation to applications, Stage 3 hearings, infant approvals and other ancillary matters.
She has represented clients in cases featuring credit hire disputes, including recently a case of disputed liability with a credit hire element claimed of around £30,000.
In addition, she has experience of accidents at work, occupiers’ liability and public liability claims and of Criminal Injury Compensation appeals.
In both her personal injury and clinical negligence practices, Charlotte has experience advising clients in cases involving multiple very significant injuries with long term impacts.
A recent example is her clinical negligence case involving an above knee amputation, following admitted negligence in the treatment of bilateral popliteal artery aneurysms.
In 2014 Charlotte acted for the Defendant in a collision where liability was admitted and damages for the cost of repair had been paid. She successfully argued that the Claimant’s evidence that they had suffered a diminution in value of the vehicle over and above the cost of repairs was inadequate to prove any loss was in fact suffered.
