Laura's cases Laura has been involved in a case where a client lost a limb in a motorcycle accident. A rehabilitation package was put in place to meet his specific requirements, which included obtaining a substantial interim payment in order to privately fund a variety of prosthetic limbs which enable him to continue with life as independently as possible. He was able to return to the gym, something he didn’t think was possible.

Another client Laura has supported sustained a brain injury and complex orthopaedic injuries, also in a motorcycle accident. To ensure a thorough investigation took place, Laura and her colleagues worked tirelessly to analyse CCTV, interview witnesses and consulted an accident reconstruction expert.

They were able to establish the facts relating to speed, line of sight and the distance he was thrown.
