Described as ‘an experienced and very able team’, GA Solicitors represents clients in a wide range of personal injury claims, with particular expertise in industrial diseases. A notable aspect of the practice is its growing focus on representing servicemen injured in the line of duty in claims against the Ministry of Defence. Matthew Sheather leads the Plymouth team, specialising in chronic pain, fatal accident and motorcycle incident cases. James Walsh and Kevin Digby harness particularly extensive expertise in asbestos and occupational disease claims, while the ’tenacious’ Harry Smyth handles workplace injury and road traffic incident claims.
