Position

Anna specialises in high value personal injury claims.  Chambers & Partners 2022 say “She is user-friendly, very thorough and puts clients at ease. She is good at retaining detail and is great on medical evidence.”

Anna acts in claims involving serious personal injury, with particular emphasis on claims with complex medical causation issues.  Her practice focuses on:

• all forms of pain syndromes, including chronic pain syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, fibromyalgia and somatoform disorders;
• fatalities;
• serious spinal damage;
• brain injury cases, including those characterised as subtle in nature and FND claims;
• complex orthopaedic and amputation cases;
• psychiatric conditions

Anna deals with liability disputes in all forms of RTA, EL and PL claims.  She is currently instructed in a number of high value RTA claims with multiple accident reconstruction experts.

Her caseload is heavily weighted towards acting for Insurers, but she is also regularly instructed on behalf of Claimants.  Anna frequently appears unled against QCs.

Anna lives in the West Country but her practice is nationwide.

Career

Anna practices in main stream personal injury work, with a particular focus on defending fraudulent claims and claims where fundamental dishonesty is suspected.  She acts on behalf of both Claimants and Defendants in high value personal injury claims and has particular expertise in CRPS and ‘pain’ cases.
