Among my notable cases are claims on behalf of two young men who sustained severe traumatic brain injuries in road traffic collisions. The cases settled for £14.75 million and £9 million (capitalised) respectively, securing lifelong funding for the care, support and therapies they will need in the future.

I currently act for a client who suffered an above-knee amputation in a road traffic collision. Within two years of the accident, he has accessed an advanced prosthetic limb with a microprocessor knee and specialist physiotherapy to enable him to achieve his goal of returning to work. Plans are also in place for him to buy and adapt a property that will support his long-term independence.

Another current case involves a very young girl who sustained a catastrophic brain injury in a road traffic collision. Within six months of the accident, we secured a suitable property for her family to meet her complex care and rehabilitation needs in the community. She now benefits from a comprehensive package of rehabilitation, including physiotherapy, neuropsychology and occupational therapy, together with specialist equipment such as an Innowalk to support her development and independence at home.

Every client's experience of injury is different. My role is to understand not only the nature of the injury itself, but also how it affects that person's life, family, priorities and future. By listening carefully and taking time to understand each client's individual circumstances, I can build the evidence needed to secure the outcome in their claim that is right for them.

The challenges my clients face often extend beyond their legal claim. Serious injuries can affect finances, employment, access to services, immigration status and family life. I have a great deal of experience in helping clients navigate these interconnected issues. I offer practical support and guidance to help them achieve the best possible outcome and move forward with confidence.

I tailor every first meeting to the needs of my client and their family, whether in hospital, at home, in the office or remotely via phone or video call.

The meeting is free of charge and you’re under no obligation to pursue a claim. My role is to listen, understand your circumstances and give you initial advice that’s clear and in line with your best interests.

I appreciate how daunting it can be to contact a lawyer for the first time, particularly if you’re facing the consequences of a devastating injury or illness. I aim to make the process as straightforward and reassuring as possible.
