Serious Injury Law Limited

Partner and Solicitor

Polly is a Partner and Solicitor at Serious Injury Law, with over 20 years’ experience in serious injury. She leads a legal team with a view to securing compensation for clients who have suffered life changing injuries; and supports bereaved families following injuries that have led to the fatal loss of their loved one.

Polly’s particular experience in fatal collisions has allowed her to develop close relationships with many road safety charities; in particular, Road Peace who advocate on behalf of road crash victims and their families. As a result, she has appeared on BBC Breakfast, North West Tonight and the Streets Ahead podcast, as a legal subject matter expert.

Fundamentally, Polly is a team player. She enjoys working with colleagues across all stages of their career and supporting them with their own development. As well as leading the civil case for her clients, Polly enjoys being part of the multi-disciplinary team, helping to co-ordinate rehabilitation. This is at the core as to why she loves her job; maximising the recoveries for her clients, helping them realise their potential, and to regain as much independence as possible.

Polly has experience of being instructed on serious injury cases very soon after the incident has occurred; meaning that they are in need of more than just legal support. Often, clients feel vulnerable at this stage, and require financial and emotional support, as well as guidance on accessing rehabilitation. Polly ranks empathy, life experience and the ability to listen to her clients as just as important as her legal skills. She has supported families that have required adaptations to their homes or care and support in the community.

Driven by making a difference to clients and their families during crisis, Polly takes great reward in being able to provide help and support to the people she represents. One of Polly’s proudest moments to date was when a client she had worked with and had settled a case for sent her his wedding video. He was walking down the aisle using an exo-skeleton that was paid for using the funds that she has secured for him.
