SWINDON and Bath law firm Withy King has won a £2.1m settlement for a seven-year-old twin girl who will need lifelong care after an injury at birth. Zaynah Silvain from Essex claimed compensation from Barts and London Hospitals NHS Trust for suffering cerebral palsy and severe learning difficulties after being starved of oxygen at birth during an unnecessarily long delivery.
Her solicitor Simon Elliman, said: "This settlement will be a life-changing one for Zaynah and her family. This settlement will enable them to continue to do so."
