Described as a ‘tried and tested claimant firm’, the personal injury practice at Bindmans LLP handles a wide-ranging workload which encompasses severe and complex injuries, including brain, orthopaedic and spinal injuries, complex debilitations, traffic accidents and secondary victim claims. The team also holds a notable specialisation in psychiatric claims, which are often diverse in their provenance. Head of the department Jon Crocker often acts in severe cognitive injury claims, for both adults and children, as well as injuries resulting in amputations. Newly arrived Sally-Jean Nicholes brings to bear over 30 years of experience in brain injuries, disabilities and fatal injury claims. Alla Murphy is described as ’particularly skilled in complex personal injury matters’, including in group claims, cognitive and psychiatric claims, and injuries resulting in chronic pain. Siobhan Kelly and Yagmur Ekici are both key ports of call for fatal accident claims, complex quantum and medical causation disputes, as well as catastrophic brain injury litigation.
