Career

Yasmin specialises in the handling of catastrophic personal injury and medical negligence claims. She has over 30 years’ experience acting for seriously injured clients and their families.

Yasmin advises on catastrophic, high-value claims including brain and spinal injuries in adults and children. She also has huge experience in complex clinical negligence matters resulting in catastrophic and life-changing injuries.

She advises on cerebral palsy and other high dependency claims. Recent experience includes hypoxic injuries during birth, misdiagnosis of cerebral abscess resulting in severe brain injury, dehydration resulting in severe brain injury, MRSA, failure to diagnose septicaemia resulting in bilateral lower limb amputation and various surgical accidents.

Yasmin was awarded the status of Leading Individual in the 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 editions of the Legal 500. The legal directory said ‘no one in the country is more expert in catastrophic injuries’ and praised Yasmin for ‘going beyond the normal call of duty’.

Yasmin is also listed in Chambers UK as ‘one of the most experienced brain injury solicitors in the country’. One interviewee states: ‘She is decisive and able to detect points of weakness in the defendant’s case. She is personable and empathetic, and has the perseverance to complete the work necessary for a complicated case that has been ongoing for several years’.

Yasmin works closely with a number of organisations that has been set up for the benefit of the victims of catastrophic injuries and she has regularly been appointed by the Court of Protection to act for clients who are unable to manage their financial affairs as a result of serious head injury.
