APPROACH

Laura’s approach is defined by an unwavering commitment to her clients and a clear understanding that no two brain injury cases are the same. Acting for seriously brain‑injured claimants in high‑value personal injury claims, Laura places her clients’ individual needs, long‑term welfare and dignity at the heart of everything she does.

She works closely with families, medical and rehabilitation experts to build claims that secure the compensation and support necessary for life‑long independence, care and quality of life.

Laura is known for being thorough, compassionate and determined, and strives to guide clients through complex litigation with clarity, sensitivity and trust.

EXPERIENCE

Laura has worked in the personal injury sector for over 19 years. She has dealt with a number of highly complex cases, including:

  • Laura has been involved in a case where a client lost a limb in a motorcycle accident. A rehabilitation package was put in place to meet his specific requirements, which included obtaining a substantial interim payment in order to privately fund a variety of prosthetic limbs which enable him to continue with life as independently as possible. He was able to return to the gym, something he didn’t think was possible.
  • Another client Laura has supported sustained a brain injury and complex orthopaedic injuries, also in a motorcycle accident. To ensure a thorough investigation took place, Laura and her colleagues worked tirelessly to analyse CCTV, interview witnesses and consulted an accident reconstruction expert

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"What can I say about Laura, an absolute gem this lady is. Professional, very committed to her job, compassionate. More than helpful, caring and really cared in my opinion about my brother and his recovery.

Every contact we had with Laura was amazing. She is one of those people who puts you at ease right away.
Laura dealt with every problem we put at her feet, every question we had she dealt with and if she could not answer there and then she would find the answers we needed. If we had a problem she would find a solution.
Again always contactable and if she could not respond immediately to a call she would call back within the business day.

Laura thank you for all your hard work."
