Daughter inspired to become lawyer after medical negligence battle

A daughter who became a carer for her mum after a medical procedure went horribly wrong, is set to train as a lawyer.

Mum Nicola Richardson was left with irreversible damage to her neck when a doctor damaged a nerve while giving her an injection for back pain in 2003.

Mrs Richardson has permanent problems down the right side of her neck and arm, since the incident over 10 years ago.

Her solicitors reached an out of court settlement in 2008.

Daughter Kendyl was so impressed by her mum's successful fight for compensation that she decided to become a clinical negligence solicitor and went to the University of Huddersfield to study Law.

Kendyl studied from home, balancing her studies with caring for her mother in Oldham, before graduating with a first-class honours degree.

She has since completed a Master of Law and Practice qualification and has secured a legal training contract in Ashton-under-Lyne.

Kendyl now wants to use her degree to help others in a similar situation.

She said 'What happened to my mum has affected her in so many ways. It has changed her life completely. It certainly made my mind up to go into practicing clinical negligence.'
