Medical Negligence & Personal Injury

Position

Kirsty is a highly experienced medical negligence solicitor who undertakes a wide variety of cases with particular specialisms in child cerebral palsy and adult brain injury cases, fatal claims, loss of sight cases, as well as failure to diagnose cancer and gynaecological claims.

Kirsty’s expertise in medical negligence work is demonstrated by her membership of the clinical negligence panel of UK charity Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA).

Kirsty also undertakes personal injury work with a focus on serious injury and fatal claims, such as road traffic accidents. She has deep experience of complex financial dependency claims involving family owned firms. Kirsty spends time understanding her client’s businesses and their finances in order to ensure the claim is appropriately calculated and supported with good evidence.

Kirsty recognises that for some clients, understanding what happened can be as important as financial compensation, so she tailors her approach to her client’s needs. Kirsty is passionate about trauma informed lawyering – an approach that puts clients first by holding the trauma they have suffered in the forefront of the mind when engaging with them. Kirsty’s clients have praised her hard work and caring approach.

Kirsty is passionate about patient safety, and increasing understanding between doctors and lawyers around common mistakes leading to a medical negligence. She has previously provided training to medical practitioners in this area.
