Career
Lindsay is a Partner in the Medical Negligence team covering Birmingham, Staffordshire and the West Midlands. She’s worked at Irwin Mitchell since 2001 and has over 20 years’ experience in medical negligence claims.
She has particular expertise in spinal injury cases. Lindsay has successfully concluded a number of spinal injury cases caused by negligent surgery and delay in diagnosis of cauda equina syndrome. She has recovered damages in excess of £10m for patients who have suffered an otherwise avoidable spinal injury, with annual payments for care for life.
She also specialises in birth injury and cerebral palsy claims, supporting families when a child is injured during delivery or due to negligent ante-natal care. She has acted for Claimants in over 40 such cases. She has recovered damages in excess of £20m for patients who have suffered an otherwise avoidable injury at birth, with annual payments for care for life.
Lindsay has experience in fatal claims and helps families whose loved ones have tragically died as a result of negligent medical care. This is due to delay in diagnosis during surgery or shortly after giving birth. She has particular expertise in inquest representation. She understands the sensitivity of such claims and the importance of ensuring the families are properly represented with compassion and sensitivity at a difficult time in their lives.
She enjoys the challenge of dealing with the complexities of the law in order to get answers, and most importantly apologies, for families. She is dedicated to fighting fearlessly for patients to get answers in the most difficult of circumstances. She also makes sure they get the compensation they are entitled to in order to be able to continue with their lives. She has recovered total damages in excess of £200m for Claimants to date.
She is also a Fellow of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL). A Fellow is described by APIL as: “[An] experienced practitioner who has a high level of technical expertise in personal injury law and who is recognised by his or her peers as being in a position of professional and intellectual leadership in the field of personal injury law.”
