Practice Areas
I head up the Midlands workplace illness team, which is the largest and most experienced specialist team in the area. I have only ever worked for injured claimants and have over 20 years’ experience recovering compensation in the asbestos disease arena, having worked as part of the team that won the first environmental asbestos exposure case (Hancock) in 1995. Since that time, my team and I have worked tirelessly to obtain justice for victims exposed to asbestos who have developed asbestos illnesses (mesothelioma, lung cancer, pleural thickening and asbestosis) both through their employment and through environmental exposure. Obtained one of the highest awards during lifetime for a mesothelioma sufferer (£1.5m) and engaged the services of experts to assist families to engage carers to help with practical care needs caused by these illnesses. The emphasis of the team is to make a difference to the quality of life of their clients as quickly as possible. Our team also has a proven track record in securing compensation for those affected by other workplace illnesses, including (but not limited to) asthma, VWF, NIHL, carpel tunnel and RSI.
