Johan Verbruggen is a Partner and Head of Medical Negligence Claims in Fieldfisher, specialising in medical negligence litigation. In his own words Johan states, "I have dedicated myself to this area of practice for very personal reasons, having been injured at birth. As a consequence of negligence, I have a permanent disability known as Erb’s palsy and understand all too well, the physical, emotional, and financial toll that medical negligence can take on individuals and families." Johan presents frequently at conferences on medical negligence and inquests, and is regularly asked by local and national media to comment on key developments in medical negligence litigation. In addition to his legal practice, Johan is actively involved in raising awareness about prevention of birth injuries and advocating for improvements in healthcare practices.
