I qualified as a solicitor in 1998 and worked as a Personal Injury Specialist throughout my legal career, dealing with high value serious injury cases obtaining both compensation and rehabilitation for my clients. I was a member of APIL (Association Of Personal injury Lawyers) and recognised by the Law Society as being a Senior Personal Injury Solicitor.
After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, I saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice. PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 and since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.
I live in Chester with my young family and 2 dogs and enjoy regular holidays along the coast of North Wales and Ibiza.
I have recently been asked to join the board of trustees at Platform For Life, a mental health counselling charity in Chester. Good mental health is the foundation of a more fulfilled, happy and healthy life, yet many families struggle to access the help and support they need to achieve it. Platform for Life offers free local counselling and play therapy for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

Since joining PSR Solicitors in March 2013 I opened and managed our Rhyl office and became head of the Personal Injury department shortly thereafter. I therefore have responsible for managing Person Injury cases throughout the firm. In January 2024 I relocated to our head office in Chester.

As an experienced Personal Injury Solicitor, I represent Claimants in all manner of personal injury case work including injuries as a result of Road Traffic Accidents, Accidents at Work, and Occupiers Liability Accidents. I handle all types off personal injury claims from the minor right through to complex more serious injury claims.

I completed my law degree and legal practice course at Nottingham Law School, before qualifying as a solicitor in 2004. I then worked at a specialist personal injury firm in the East Midlands and a leading regional firm, before joining PSR in 2017.
With PSR I've continued to specialise in acting for Personal Injury claimants and have developed a keen understanding of the procedures and tactics involved in pursuing a claim, as well as the difficulties and concerns faced by people who have suffered as the result of an accident.
Since 2014 I've been proud to help hundreds of people. I've represented the public in all manner of injury claims, including serious orthopaedic injuries, brain damage, and psychological trauma. I was instructed to deal with claims for clients in the aftermath of the Potters Bar rail crash and the Penhallow hotel fire.
In addition, I represent clients in relation to all manner of disputes. I have dealt with professional negligence claims, such as those against solicitors and builders. I have helped clients recover money which is due to them and to dispute invoices which have been sent to them. I have helped business defend claims against them. I have tackled neighbour and boundary disputes.
I live locally to the Colwyn Bay office, and outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of the coastal and mountain outdoor activities which are available on the doorstep. I'm also heavily involved with an outdoor pursuits charity, which I find an enjoyable and rewarding way of using my free time.

One of the most common questions people ask us about their accident at work claim is - how much compensation could they receive. Calculating compensation for accidents at work is rarely straightforward and much depends on the severity of your injury and the impact your injury may have on your immediate and future life.
The Judicial College provides guidelines on compensation settlement values attached to the ‘general damages’ element of any Accident at Work Compensation Claim. General damages seek to compensate injured parties for the mental & Physical pain and suffering caused by the injury itself. There can, of course, be other consequences of being injured through a non-fault accident at work, these must also be considered before a final value can be attributed to the injury compensation claim.
This process should not be rushed. Crucially, all vital circumstances will be taken into account, and only then will we be able to value your case suitably. In some cases, it is prudent to allow the injured person time to recover or to take time to be able to assess the injury fully before valuing the claim.
We then seek to secure this compensation settlement value from those liable for your injury. Where appropriate interim compensation payments can also be sought and made.
PSR Solicitors expertly pursue work injury compensation claims on behalf of our clients. We have expert personal injury lawyers and a long-standing successful track-record in settling an extensive range of accident at work claims.
If you have sustained an injury in a work accident that was not your fault, you may be able to make a claim for financial compensation. Sometimes this compensation may need to support you financially to pay for ongoing medical care, rehabilitation and any bills incurred during the period spent out of work.
The total amount of compensation you will receive will be an arrangement of both general and special damages, calculated according to the personal circumstances of your case.
General damages compensation awards differ according to the magnitude of your injury and how quick your recovery time is.
Special damages will seek to compensate you for any financial losses connected to the accident and its future consequences. This will include damage to your property, loss of earnings, or fees associated with your future, long term medical and healthcare needs.
Our team will gather further information about your situation to be able to give you a more detailed idea of a potential settlement amount. They will also advise you on how much you are likely to receive and how long it will take to be compensated.
The table above reflects those compensation levels set out by the Judicial College guidelines (JCG), and provides insight surrounding general damages only.
The following statistics show the scale of how injury in the workplace affects the lives of people in the UK. These statistics are taken directly from the HSE and represent figures for Great Britain in the year 2017/2018:
It is crucial that any worker involved in an accident at work reports the accident. A report should be filed in the employer’s accident book, and with the relevant trade union when possible. This will ensure a safety assessment follows an accident, so that health and safety standards can be enforced.
You should then immediately seek expert legal advice regarding a workplace injury claim against your employer. Workplace accidents can have devastating consequences, and ensuring the risks are minimised is vital.
The 3-year time limit on personal injury claims dictates that you should act on a claim for an accident at your earliest convenience. Contact us today for a free consultation about your case.
Based on statistics from governmental and regulatory bodies such as the HSE and Riddor. The following work areas have been identified as the most dangerous when assessing the possibility of sustaining an injury at work and the volumes of workers who are injured:
Our solicitors have expertise in regularly dealing with Work Injury Claim cases that involve:
This is the most common cause of injury at work which could be down to something as simple as an unmarked wet floor, loose electric cables, or any faulty equipment within the workplace. In most cases, poor working conditions or a failure to follow health and safety regulations consequently result in employees injuring themselves due to a slip or trip at work.
Employers have a duty to protect workers against injuries from falling objects. Working at height is risky and accidents including falls from a ladder or a roof can be severe and life-changing. This falls under The Work at Height Regulations 2005.
Whether working on a livestock farm or an arable farm, there are many dangers within the farming environment that can cause injury to farm-workers, not least the wide variety of machinery used within agriculture. According to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), there were 33 fatal injuries and 816 non-fatal injuries across the farming industry in 2017/18. If you’ve been injured while farming or doing any agricultural work, or even visiting a farm when an accident occurs, you may be eligible for compensation.
There are various ways in which a head or brain injury can occur. Such as falling from height or impact injuries. Serious driving accidents (whether driving only on work premises, or on the open road as part of your working responsibilities) can also result in severe head/brain injury. Even a slip or trip at work can have dire consequences. With the Brain being an integral organ to the human senses and bodily functions, it is for this reason why injury sustained to this part of the body can prove so serious.
Without suitable knowledge, employees will not be able to follow basic safety provisions and may contribute to an accident. Most lack of training claims involve the improper use of heavy machinery, but injuries are also commonly caused by moving machinery, manual handling, working at heights, and failure to apply safety equipment.
All equipment should be kept up to date, checked regularly to manufacturers' standards, and free from damage. Electrical tools should be tested and approved. Failure to do so can result in burns, cuts, and in some serious cases, loss of limbs.
Injuries involving lifting or manual handling can be initiated by lifting heavy items and not being provided with suitable materials or correct training. Incorrect lifting techniques are a major cause of back damage in the workplace, which can have a detrimental effect on future work and lifestyle choices.
The building trade can be extremely dangerous if health and safety regulations are not strictly adhered to. We've known situations involving collapsed scaffolding, defective machinery, and utter ignorance of safety standards not being met when it comes down to causes of injury.
A variety of industries involve workers being exposed to harmful and dangerous substances, which have the potential to cause harm to health, or worse. Harm can be caused where such substances are consumed, inhaled, or simply where they may come into contact with the skin. Harmful substances can take the form of solids, liquids, vapours, gases, and fumes. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) includes around 400 products in its list of workplace exposure limits within the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH).
Ladders are commonly used within the building and construction industries, and are a common cause of accidents in the industry, as there is a larger risk of falling. This is usually a result of the safety standards not being met.
We will always aim to make your claim with PSR Solicitors a straightforward hassle-free process. We will deal with all the details of the claim including filing court proceedings if required. Our Accident at Work solicitors work with a client confidentiality policy and your recovery and well-being will always be our priority.
We can often handle a Work accident claim on a no-win, no-fee basis. This means that in the unlikely event that your claim proves unsuccessful, you will have nothing to pay for any of our time or efforts already made.
Through experience, we have identified that most accidents at work surround circumstances and situations that should be reasonably avoidable, and generally caused by lifting heavy objects or using defective or dangerous equipment.
A legal obligation surrounds your employer to ensure safety at work within your workplace, with environments in which you work adhering to health and safety regulations. In some instances, if you have not received the relevant training or been provided with the correct safety equipment prior to an injury, you are more than likely to make a claim for compensation for an accident in your working environment.
We appreciate that, on occasion, no amount of money can compensate for your injuries. However, the compensation we will seek on your behalf should cover compensation for pain and suffering, medical treatment expenses, losses on out of work earnings, and future earnings. In severe cases it can ensure a care package exists to deliver the best quality of life possible. Even in cases of minor work injury we will work hard and endeavour to ensure you are not left out of pocket while you recover from any work accident.
