Lester Aldridge LLP runs the gamut of personal injury cases; the Bournemouth-based team has a particular focus on brain and spinal injuries, but also expertly handles fatal claims, amputations, serious fractures and industrial disease work. The ‘incredibly dynamic’ David Healy brings his dual experience as head of both the clinical negligence and personal injury departments to bear on his role. Karen Watts and Fiona Brooke are also noted, and the latter is recommended for her expertise in serious orthopedic injuries.
