J - Birth Injuries

J sustained his injuries at birth following negligence on the part of the NHS. 

J’s personal injury litigation settled in 2009 and he was awarded a significant lump sum and an annual payment for the rest of his life.

A Hyphen Lawyer was appointed to act as Deputy for J. J is still at school but the Deputy and members of the Hyphen team have worked together to purchase and adapt a property on J’s behalf.

The Deputy and Hyphen team have also worked closely with J’s Case Manager in relation to the recruitment of a care team. The Hyphen team arrange for the purchase of all the equipment needed to support J at home and at school including a specially adapted vehicle. 

The Deputy and Hyphen team also support have supported J’s family with budgeting, property maintenance and house insurance issues.

  • If Deputyship is not your specialism it can be challenging as well as time consuming and difficult to deliver a service that is in the client's best interests. Hyphen Law can help.

  • Christine provided sensible, realistic and measured advice in a calm and authoritative manner. Her assistance in relation to recovering Court of Protection Deputy costs within the settlement terms reached was critical ensuring my client's future affairs will be properly and professionally managed. I cannot praise her sufficiently.

  • I have been supported by the lawyers at Hyphen Law for more than ten years. During this time I have been amazed at the lengths they have gone to to ensure that my son's health and financial well being was paramount. During the purchase of a house for my son and its subsequent adaptation and-modernisation, Hyphen Law have set a very high bar.

  • The fact that Hyphen Law are specialists in Deputyship was a huge help...apart from the financial help Paul has got the care he needs. They are a great support to me. It makes my life much easier knowing there is someone on the end of the phone who understands and cares.
