David is technical lead for large loss and technical motor claims, having headed up our large loss and technical team for over 20 years.
He specialises in catastrophic injury claims for insurers as well as MIB claims, cross border claims and non-indemnity insurance work advising insurers on policy wording and on liabilities to third parties under both the Road Traffic Act 1988 and Art 75. He has dealt with the full range of catastrophic injury claims including claims of the utmost severity, spinal injuries (paraplegics/tetraplegics), amputations and serious head injuries.
David has lectured widely on technical issues and on large loss issues. He was lead lawyer and draftsperson for MIB in relation to the latest Uninsured and Untraced Drivers Agreements. He represented MIB in the Supreme Court case of Moreno (2016) and on the judicial review action brought by RoadPeace challenging various aspects of the Agreements and the 1988 Act as being contrary to European law. He has been involved in many leading cases including the cases of Wigley Foster, McCall v Poulton, Nemeti v Sabre, Winrow v Hemphill, Jacobs v MIB, Howe v MIB and Marshall/Pickard v MIB and others.
David also represented the insurer involved in the claims arising from the Westminster Bridge terror attack by Khalid Masood in 2017.
