Background

About Sevim Ahmet

I am an Associate Solicitor specialising in medical negligence and personal injury. I work with clients that have sustained a range of injuries including brain injuries, spinal injuries, gastrointestinal and colorectal injuries and gynaecological injuries following childbirth. I represent clients who have suffered birth injuries, including Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and cerebral palsy. I also work with bereaved families whose babies have died in the neonatal period or have been born sleeping as a result of the mismanagement of their births. I understand the importance of conducting comprehensive investigations to obtain the answers that injured parties and bereaved families desperately seek. I believe in working collaboratively with clients and experts to investigate their cases thoroughly and secure the best possible settlement for the client. I understand the importance of treating clients as individuals and understanding their individual needs to ensure the appropriate award and solution is achieved for every client. I am tactical and creative in my approach and I use various strategies to achieve the best outcome. As a result, I have over the years secured high value awards for clients and their families. Quote from client:"Sevim was appointed my solicitor when I was going through an extremely traumatic case of clinical negligence. This case took several years to settle, and quite honestly, I do not think I would have made it through without her support. Sevim’s attention to detail, constant and excellent communication, compassion, empathy, and absolute professionalism made the process bearable. I am very grateful to have had her act as my solicitor."

Delay in expediting birth leading to hypoxic brain injury and diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Neonatal death claim arising from failure to diagnose and treat preeclampsia and expedite birth.
