As a seasoned Serious Injury practitioner, I've represented many victims of road traffic collisions, cycling collisions, accidents at work and in public places and aviation disasters for more than 20 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 air crashes.
I regularly take over cases from other solicitors and am currently instructed by the Official Solicitor to represent a 24-year-old boy who suffered catastrophic injuries arising out of a road traffic collision in which three of his friends died and his brother was injured. I was instructed to take over conduct of the claim in place of the boy’s mother who was not acting in his best interests.
I regularly support families at the inquest into the death of a relative following a catastrophic accident.
I am a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).
