Irwin Mitchell

Serious Injury

Partner

I'm a partner based in our Liverpool office, part of the leading personal injury team in the North West, which has achieved excellent results for thousands of clients over the years. I've acted for seriously injured clients since 2001. I'm an accredited Senior Litigator with the Association of Personal Injury Solicitors (APIL) and hold Brain Injury Specialist and Fatal Accidents Specialist accreditations.

I handle a wide range of serious injury cases including brain injury and fatal accident claims. This includes supporting devastated families through criminal proceedings and inquests and being there for them as they seek answers for what happened to their loved one. These cases can be a long journey, but I’m able to adapt my approach as my clients process their grief and focus on their rehabilitation and recovery.

I also act for clients who’ve suffered spinal injuries, amputations, and complex orthopaedic injuries. My clients regularly include children and the elderly, often leading to me building relationships with them and their families over several years as we leave no stone unturned to get the best result.

I’m frequently instructed to take over claims being handled by other solicitors where clients have become dissatisfied with the service provided by their previous firm. In these instances, I’m proud of the higher quality of service my team and I can deliver. We work tirelessly to put their needs first where others have let them down.

The most rewarding aspect of my role is seeing the benefits the law can provide to those who’ve been seriously injured. This might ultimately be financial compensation, but I see the most positive effects occur through the rehabilitation we’re able to help our clients access after life-changing injuries. This really can help people recover and rebuild a life that they no longer thought was possible.

My interest in law came from my father's work as a GP, assisting in preparing regulatory or disciplinary cases for General Medical Council hearings. My interest in investigating these cases, combined with a desire to help those who have been seriously injured, led naturally to a career in personal injury law.
