Michael is a direct access barrister who has been assisting individuals and their families bringing anaesthetic awareness medical negligence claims for over 20 years.
Anaesthetic awareness is a preventable complication that can lead to significant psychological consequences, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It occurs when the depth of anaesthesia is inadequate to achieve a state of unconsciousness. The most severe cases of intraoperative awareness occur when patients recall events that occurred while under anaesthetic, including pain, paralysis, or feelings of impending death.
If you or a member of your family should need assistance with a case involving injury sustained during a surgical procedure where anaesthesia was inadequate, Michael should be able to help you.

“I was the victim of negligence which left me with life, changing conditions, thank God I can still walk. I was introduced to Michael Shaw through a mutual friend. We made contact, and he took my case on. What an outstanding service, I was provided with. He was always there at the end of the phone and always returned my emails through some of the toughest times of my life. Even when he was on holiday with his family, which is outstanding service. He understood what I was going through, mentally and physically I can’t thank you enough for the service you provided me; and now the case has come to a resolution I can start to rebuild my life. I would always recommend him to friends and family”.
