Gerard Martin KC is a renowned silk who specialises in brain injury and spinal injury cases for adults and children. He also has a wealth of experience dealing with claims for amputees, pain and somatoform disorders. He works exclusively for claimants and his motivation is achieving justice and fair compensation for those injured due to the fault of others.

The majority of his work is for clients with severe brain and spinal injuries, resulting from accidents or clinical negligence. Through his vast experience he knows that each case of severe injury is unique and with this in mind he believes it unwise to generalise about outcomes, and that much depends upon the individual and the support they receive.

Gerard prides himself on ensuring that each client, especially where they may lack capacity to make decisions themselves, has a clear understanding of each action he will undertake on their behalf. He believes that by visiting the client and their family at home, he gains understanding to ensure the best possible outcome.

He promotes teamwork between client, solicitor, counsel and their expert advisors. Gerard believes he works best when instructed at the outset of the case. This enables him to bring his considerable influence to its direction and to ensure the best experts to assist each client.

Often cases settle by negotiation rather than trial in court. This is where Gerard provides real expertise and value.

Gerard sits on the national board of trustees of the United Kingdom Acquired Brain Injury Forum.
