I head the Personal Injury and Medical Negligence team at Fieldfisher. As part of that role, I lead the Clinical Negligence team.
I act solely for Claimants who have been catastrophically injured by complex medical accidents. I am an accredited expert on specialist AvMA and Law Society Clinical Negligence Panels.
The combination of my medical and legal training enables me to meticulously analyse each case and cut to the issues quickly and thoroughly. I work tirelessly to help clients rebuild their lives by securing early funds for the best possible care and rehabilitation, including moving to adapted accommodation where needed. Early intervention during the course of a claim helps restore the lives and independence of the injured and their families.
My particular expertise includes:
Birth injury claims: Obstetric and midwifery claims
Wrongful birth claims
Fetal medicine claims
Oncology claims involving delays in diagnosis and error in treatment
Cases involving amputation
Adult acquired brain injury as a result of medical accident
Fatal accident claims
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm claims
Where appropriate, I work with the media to highlight clinical negligence issues in the public interest. I have featured across more than 100 different media outlets and am regularly interviewed on television news channels.
I am a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).
