£5m Compensation for Leslie Ash
TELLY actress Leslie Ash was “delighted” last night after winning a massive £5mil
lion compensation for catching MRSA in hospital.
Her claim had been due to go to trial in April, and lawyers said the former Men Behaving Badly star was thankful to have avoided a gruelling court case.
The record payout is also set to open the floodgates to a wave of claims against the NHS by other MRSA victims.
Leslie’s solicitor Janice Gardner, of Russell-Cooke, said the payout would arrive in a month. Ms Gardner added: “She is delighted that we could reach an amicable settlement.
“Nobody really wants to go to court. It would have been hard going for her.
“In a case when you have got serious injuries you have to be reasonably satisfied that the injuries have settled before you can settle the claim.”
The settlement was based on the highly-paid star’s loss of earnings, and legal experts warned that other patients could expect much smaller payouts – even if they win their cases.
Leslie, 47, was left in permanent pain and has to walk with a stick after catching MSSA – a variant of the better known MRSA – at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in central London.
She was taken to the hospital in April 2004 for treatment to a punctured lung and two cracked ribs after falling on to a table during a sex session with her husband, ex-footballer Lee Chapman
