Temple Garden Chambers is home to an 'exemplary' team of 'very high quality personal injury barristers'. Dominic Adamson KC is 'a fantastic advocate' with an excellent track record in representing claimants and defendants in fatal accident and catastrophic injury claims. Military claims form a key pillar of the practice; Paul Kilcoyne is highly regarded for his niche focus on this area. The 'methodical' James Bell often acts for claimants in national and international matters pertaining to industrial disease, employer's liability, road traffic accident and public liability claims, to name a few.
