Simon O'Loughlin

Biography

I'm an Associate Solicitor on the international Personal Injury team. I specialise in complex and high value head and spinal injury claims, fatal claims and serious injury claims. I have particular experience in cases with complex liability issues and claims involving multiple parties.

I act for people who’ve suffered injuries abroad including accidents at work, road traffic accidents, package holiday cases and medical negligence.

Noteworthy claims I’ve dealt with include two successful Court of Appeal cases:

• Swift & Others v Fred Olsen [2016] EWCA Civ 785
• Wood v TUI Travel plc t/a First Choice [2017] EWCA Civ 11.
