Her experience of medical negligence cases is extensive.Soon after qualification she ran a cerebral palsy claim to trial successfully recovering £1.25m for the client.

Rusbridge also deals with other complex areas such as informed consent, delayed diagnosis of cancer, gynealogical, paediatric and orthopedic cases to name just a few.
