I have worked for people who have suffered catastrophic injuries such as paraplegia, quadriplegia, brain injury, burns and vision loss. The majority of people I continue to act for are those with injuries to their backs or necks, limb fractures, joint replacements, animal bites and psychological injuries. In addition, I work on cases involving airline travel accidents or accidents that happen on holiday. In 2017 I was named as a leading public liability compensation lawyer in Doyle’s Guide. I’m driven to help everyday people whose lives have been affected by injury or illness get the right compensation and support to help with their recovery – especially in circumstances where they have suffered major injuries.
