Johanne is a very experienced Solicitor in the Clinical Negligence department at Sternberg Reed. She was admitted as a Solicitor in May 2002 and joined Sternberg Reed in 2006. She is also a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).

Johanne has over 13 years’ experience dealing solely with clients who have been injured as a result of negligent medical care. She deals with cases on behalf of children and adults who have received treatment from GPs, private doctors, hospitals and dentists and National Health Service (NHS) doctors/hospitals, and dentists.

Based at our Barking office, Johanne undertakes a wide range of clinical negligence cases ranging from clients who have suffered moderate temporary and permanent injuries, to clients who have suffered severe life changing injuries, e.g. brain injury, stroke, limb amputation etc. Her cases include obstetric and gynaecological injuries, orthopaedic injuries, abdominal injuries, neurological injuries (injuries affecting the brain, spinal cord and nerves), dental injuries and fatal injuries (where a person has died as a result of negligent medical care). Johanne also has experience in dealing with clients who have been injured through cosmetic surgery and non surgical cosmetic procedures.

Johanne deals sensitively with clients, acknowledging that many injuries result in life changing situations which affect clients emotionally as well as physically. In dealing with fatal injury cases, Johanne acknowledges that the grieving process continues for many years even beyond the legal process. Johanne understands that these and other considerations are key to dealing effectively with clients, treating every client on an individual basis according to their needs. Johanne works with her clients seeking not only compensation in monetary terms but also in terms of future change where this can be achieved, for example, changes in hospital, GP or dental practice procedures, to prevent similar failings happening again and causing injury to others.
