Jasroop Kang
Clinical Negligence/ Personal Injury
A member of the personal injury and clinical negligence team. Jasroop’s legal practice centers on specialist sub sections of injury work. Jasroop specialises in catastrophic injury cases, including brain injury. She also undertakes inquest work in relation to deceased members of her client’s families and is known to have a very sympathetic approach.
She has a number of sub-specialisms with a particular skill base in plastic surgery cases. Her most well known case is Johnson v Mr Fourie (a plastic surgeon) 2011 heard before Mr Justice Owen, the case involves an allegation of experimental plastic surgery without consent on a member of the public.
Jasroop has been described by her clients as: -
“Excellent and caring.”
“Thoughtful and considerate.”
“A true specialist.”
“Professional throughout.”
Jasroop acts exclusively for Claimants. She works with clients to ascertain their needs and all importantly what they wish to achieve from their instruction of a law firm.
This is particularly important in inquest cases, where it is not a matter of gaining compensation, it is a matter of finding out what occurred.
Jasroop reports that it is a common misperception particularly in clinical negligence that the primary reason a law firm is contacted is because of compensation. Quite often Jasroop says in fact compensation is fairly low down the list of what the client is seeking to achieve as their result. More often then not clients are forced into a litigation route because all other avenues have been closed off to them.
Jasroop joined McMillan Williams clinical negligence department in 2006 and became head of the clinical negligence team at the Mitcham branch in 2010.
