A mother has been paid a six-figure settlement from a TV manufacturer following a fire in which both her two young children died.
40 firefighters tackled the blaze at the family home in Cambridgeshire in December 2020. Jade Horton survived, having jumped from a second floor window. Her two children, Isaac, three, and Sienna, seven, died from breathing in smoke. An investigation concluded the most probable cause of the fire was an electrical fault with a television in a first floor bedroom.
Further details of the case can be found here.
Bernard Pressman was instructed by Clare Morris of JF Law in the claim.
