As a seasoned Serious Injury practitioner, I have represented many victims of road traffic collisions, cycling collisions, accidents at work and in public places and aviation disasters (civil and military) for more than 28 years. I also specialise in representing amputees, ensuring they receive the expert rehabilitation and support they need.
Over the years, I have built a strong general aviation practice representing people who suffered injury while acting as a pilot under instruction, as well as the families of individuals fatally injured in domestic and international air crashes.
I regularly take over cases from other solicitors and have been instructed by the Official Solicitor on several high-value claims over the years.
I regularly support families at Inquests.
I am a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).
Ongoing cases:
- I currently represent families who lost relatives in the Air India crash in June 2025.
- I currently represent the family of a victim of the London Southend Air Crash in July 2025
- I represented those injured in the Southampton RIB collision, including the family of Emily Lewis.
- I concluded more than 100 damages claims following the Bow crane incident in July 2020.
- I represented the family of Gordon Emin against the MOD. Gordon was killed in a helicopter crash in Kabul, Afghanistan.
- I represented the family of the late Flt Lt Sean Cunningham of the Red Arrows, fatally injured following an incident at RAF Scampton.
- I represented the family of 8-year-old Dev Naran, killed on a Smart motorway in 2018.
