Position

Suzanne is a senior associate who has specialised in personal injury litigation for 28 years.

Historically she handled clinical negligence, road traffic, public and employers’ liability claims for both claimants and defendants, including representing clients’ interests at inquests.

She is now part of the firm’s Technical Claims Team specialising in defendant employers’ and public liability claims for local and public authorities, health trusts and corporate bodies but also deals with some high value clinical negligence claims.  She generally handles more complex, higher value and fatal accident/injury claims and, in particular, she deals with cumulative injury and disease claims including asbestos related injury. 

For many years Suzanne predominantly handled claims for local authorities. These included, amongst others, claims against police and fire services.  Suzanne continues to represent local authorities, in particular in disease claims.  She also represents other local health and corporate entities.
