Jennifer Buchanan discusses damages for victims of terrorist attack in the Guardian
Jennifer Buchanan was part of a long-form feature in the Guardian investigating compensation available to victims of terrorist attack, including families who lose a relative during an attack. Jennifer settled a claim on behalf of the Archibald family against the insurer of the driver who deliberately drove into pedestrians on London Bridge in June 2017, killing eight people, including their 30-year-old daughter Chrissy.
When it came to supporting victims at London Bridge and Westminster, we worked with the insurers of the vehicles used as a weapons. The Archibalds alongside Jennifer have spoken publicly about their hope that a more resilient and effective method of tracking when known terrorists attempt to rent vehicles will prevent similar attacks reoccurring.
The Personal Injury team has previously lobbied the government for fair and transparent treatment of victims of terrorism here and abroad. Tragically, when the dust eventually settles on such atrocities, the economic impact of terrorism on society continues.
