About

Provided by Moore Barlow LLP

Moore Barlow’s Serious Injury and Major Trauma team is recognised for its expertise in catastrophic injury and complex personal injury claims. Acting for individuals and families across the South and London, we specialise in cases involving life-changing brain, spinal, orthopaedic and psychiatric injuries, often arising from road traffic collisions, workplace incidents and public liability matters.

We are also known for our pioneering Major Trauma Service, one of the first of its kind in the UK, which ensures clients and families receive rehabilitation and holistic support from the outset of their case. Our lawyers have secured substantial settlements and early interim payments, enabling vital treatment and long-term care.

Our recent work highlights include acting for families and survivors of the Wimbledon Study Prep School crash and the Strand van collision, both high-profile matters which attracted significant media attention and demonstrate the scale and sensitivity of our instructions.

Beyond litigation, we are active in commentary and campaigning, shaping debate on road safety, e-scooter regulation and victim support. We also work closely with leading charities such as the Child Brain Injury Trust and RoadPeace.

As a team we place real value on diversity, inclusion and social mobility, and are proud to reflect this in both our client work and the make-up of our team itself.
