Brain Injury Barrister
How To Choose the Right One

If you, or a loved one, have suffered severe brain or spine injury as a result of the carelessness (“negligence”) of a doctor, obstetrician, paediatrician, consultant, or health professional such as a midwife, you need to find a really good, specialist lawyer. Any major claim will need a barrister and a QC, and I think that it is essential to select and involve them at an early stage – the sooner the better.


Solicitors, sometimes just called lawyers (although technically the word lawyer covers barristers, QCs and solicitors), are essential for the efficient running of your claim. They manage all aspects of it, ideally with early involvement of barristers and QCs. They need to be efficient and knowledgeable, but also he or she should be someone you feel you could get to like and trust. Many good claimant lawyers do their jobs because they positively want to work for people who have suffered serious injury as a result of medical or clinical negligence.


Barristers and QCs specialise in presenting claims, not just at court, but in every stage from hospital onwards. Because we limit the type of work we do within a serious medical negligence claim, we have the opportunity to see more of them; the more you see, the more experience you get, and the larger your database of knowledge is – which is exactly what an injured person needs.


I only do major medical or clinical (clinical covers health professionals other than medically qualified ones) negligence claims involving the brain or spine. By specialising in that way, I can achieve the level of expertise which I think is essential.


When selecting a barrister or QC for your claim, or indeed when selecting a solicitor, you should make sure that they have experience of your type of injury. The expertise involved in dealing with a brain injury such as cerebral palsy caused by negligent obstetrics or midwifery at birth is very different from what is needed in, say, an orthopaedic claim.


If the claim is a serious one arising out of medical or clinical negligence, your barrister or QC should be able to give you evidence of his or her knowledge and experience. You can either ask him or her directly or, if you prefer, ask your solicitor to ask for you.
