Practice Areas

Mark specialises in brain and spinal injuries for adults and children arising from all types of accidents and assault.

Mark’s case load of serious brain injury claims for adults and children includes a significant number of multi-million-pound claims for those suffering from serious brain injury.

Mark has particular expertise in dealing with cases involving minimally conscious clients where there is often a cross-over with parallel Court of Protection proceedings, for example where there are issues about the client’s future residence. Mark will fight tenaciously for the most profoundly injured clients to return to an adapted home setting if that is clinically appropriate.

Mark also specialises in claims to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority relating to serious brain injury from assaults.
