Richard Bradford
Major Trauma Litigation Manager - Personal Injury
"I joined Higgs LLP in 2025 as a Major Trauma Litigation Manager in the personal injury team, bringing over 20 years of experience in personal injury cases.”
Prior to joining Higgs LLP, I spent 9 years at West Midlands Solicitors, where I successfully led the personal injury and medical negligence team. Before that, I worked for DAC Beachcroft in their niche sports injury team, which formed part of their overall casualty department and for Bradin Trubshaw Solicitors in their personal injury department.
I have over 20 years of experience in personal injury claims, including serious injury, and I have in-depth knowledge of how accidents can significantly affect a client's life. I therefore ensure that my clients and their families are supported throughout the claims process and are provided with the best possible service and rehabilitation that can be achieved.
I strive to ensure my clients are given the correct advice in a simple, down-to-earth manner so as not to make the process overly complex or daunting. It is a privilege to see my clients achieve the best possible outcome regarding settlement and rehabilitation.
- Successfully concluding a personal injury claim for a young person who lost his eyesight because of an employer's liability matter, resulting in a settlement exceeding £1m.
- Successfully concluding a road traffic accident claim for a client significantly affected following a road traffic collision for a settlement exceeding £1m, together with ongoing care.
- Successfully concluded a claim for a settlement exceeding £500k relating to a rogue surgeon.
- Defending various high value sports injury claims.
