London > Insurance > Personal injury: claimant

Tristan Hallam and Warren Collins co-head the personal injury practice at Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP, which specialises in representing claimants in high-value serious injury cases, often requiring expertise in catastrophic cognitive, spinal cord and orthopaedic injuries, amputations and psychiatric claims. The team represents both domestic and international claimants, with a strong transatlantic emphasis on injuries arising from holidays. Noted by one client for his ‘strategic vision’, Collins boasts expertise in fatal claims, spinal and, in particular cognitive injury claims. The ‘tactically astute’ Hallam works closely with the Police Federation in various psychiatric injury and sexual abuse claims. Louise Taylor routinely handles high-value group claims, including the Grenfell Tower civil litigation, while Sophie Bullimore is noted for her ‘superb grasp of detail on her claims’, which often includes both group and individual amputation and psychiatric claims.
