Tim has over 25 years experience in personal injury. His practice also includes Contentious probate work and he is happy to advise on all aspects of civil litigation..
Tim is often instructed on cases which have been transferred from another firm of solicitors where the client has been dissatisfied with the service they have received. With the increase in ‘panel’ solicitors appointed by insurance companies or trade unions, this is an expanding area of Tim’s work.
Tim has a particular interest in high value claims and has settled cases for clients
who have suffered life changing injuries.
Tim is a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyer (APIL).
Tim’s work has included:
- Recovering over £700,000 for a train driver who was injured at work when hit by an overhead power cable
- Obtaining almost £500,000 for a client who suffered a brain injury following a skiing accident, which involved bringing a claim in a foreign country.
- Securing a multi-million pound settlement for a client who lost a limb in a motorbike accident.
- Claiming £70,000 for a teacher who was assaulted by a violent pupil.
- Negotiating a settlement of over £90,000 for a client who was required to push heavy loads at work and damaged his back.
- Winning a case for an infant client whose claim had been rejected by a
previous firm of solicitors. - Obtaining £50,000 for an actress who fell off a poorly designed stage.
Tim spends his weekends sailing, walking his multiple small dogs and following Somerset county cricket.
