Sarah Stanton

Sarah leads the Moore Barlow medical negligence team. She has been qualified as a solicitor for more than 25 years and has specialised in medical negligence and personal injury throughout that time.

She now practises exclusively in the field of medical negligence from Moore Barlow's Richmond office. Her clients are based throughout the country and she is happy to see clients at home, in one of the firm's other offices or at another suitable venue. She also acts as a Court of protection deputy for clients who have received a substantial sum of damages and is also the Legal Aid lead for the firm.

Sarah's cases involve injuries of maximum severity and include brain injuries acquired at birth or as a result of infection. She also has an interest in cases arising from complex surgery, delayed diagnosis of cauda equina syndrome and delayed diagnosis of cancer.

Her clients have life changing injuries and it is her role to guide them through the litigation process and to obtain maximum compensation as they nearly always need care and support in the future and are often unable to work. Her experience is that clients seeking redress for clinical negligence are often looking for much more than compensation and often want answers and to ensure that medical mistakes do not happen again.
