I lead the Clinical Negligence department at Higgs LLP and have over 16 years experience in dealing with complex clinical negligence claims.
I have extensive experience of clinical negligence claims involving cerebral palsy, spinal injury and brain injury. I am particularly interested in cases involving a delay in diagnosing meningitis and loss of vision. I am sympathetic to the particular challenges of these injuries and will fight to obtain the best possible outcome.
I am committed to engaging in rehabilitation to assist a client’s recovery from the earliest possible stage. I frequently make applications to court for large interim payments to ease the financial burden that a client may suffer following an injury and ensure that funds are available to purchase suitable housing, equipment and private therapies.
I am one of a limited number of solicitors on the Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel and I am an accredited supervisor for our Legal Aid Franchise. I am recognised in the Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners legal directories as a leading Band 1 clinical negligence lawyer.
