Personal Injury & Clinical Negligence
Tom acts for claimants and defendants on fast and multi-track claims on matters of liability, quantum and procedure. His work ranges from providing pre-action advice to drafting, conducting interim applications, and appearing at trial.
Recent cases have involved: determining the claimant’s ‘employer’ and applying the tests for the alternative bases of liability under the health and safety regulations; a local authority’s liability for a dangerous defect on the highway; employer’s liability for an unsafe system of maintenance work; occupier’s liability for spillages in a nightclub; split liability for a motorway road traffic accident; and the assessment of general and special damages for burn injuries and complex dental injuries sustained by two young children.
Tom is a member of the Personal Injuries Bar Association and is happy to accept instructions on a conditional fee basis where appropriate.
