Practice Overview

In personal injury David has enormous experience in high value claims. He has a particular expertise in multiple orthopaedic injuries and brain injuries arising from motorcycle and cycling accidents. He has huge experience in pedestrian cases and has a particular interest in accident reconstruction. He has developed a significant and growing following in the niche field of Functional Neurological Disorder which complements and sits alongside his wider pain practice. More widely he deals with amputations, brachial plexus injuries, serious upper and lower limb injuries and psychiatric injury in which he has a specialist experience in secondary victims.

David has extensive experience in the field of inquests and inquiries representing public and private sector clients.  He has earned a strong reputation for representing bereaved families, corporate and commercial organisations and government departments, such as the MoJ and the Probation Service.

He has huge experience in medical inquests, deaths in custody, deaths after police contact and deaths whilst the perpetrator was under the supervision of the probation service.

David’s inquest practice is complemented by his extensive experience in high value personal injury claims.  He is able to provide continuity of representation by acting in any post-inquest civil claim for damages, placing him in high demand.

In his police work he has nearly 30 years of experience across the whole range of civil actions involving the police, from false arrests & malicious prosecutions through to issues around the right to peaceful protest and the investigative duty.
