Paul is very passionate about getting the best possible rehabilitation and support for his clients, securing interim payments during the course of a case, so that clients can make the best possible recovery following serious injuries.
Paul is recognised in both Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners for his work supporting seriously injured claimants.
Paul is Chairman of brain injury charity Headway Wearside, an affiliated group of Headway UK.
As a result of Paul’s interest and experience in supporting brain injury survivors, he has also been elected to the position of Secretary for both the United Kingdom Acquired Brain Injury Forum and the Northern Acquired Brain Injury Forum.
Paul has a keen interest in supporting people who have sustained serious injury and their families through the legal process from start to finish. He has won a number of multi-million-pound claims on behalf of seriously injured clients, defending their rights to significant claims when challenged.
In a number of cases Paul has been involved in obtaining cutting-edge technology and treatment for his clients. One example of this is securing a multi-million pound award for an upper limb amputee prosthetic which included provision for muscle re-innervation treatment, linking nerves to prosthetics, as well as rehabilitation treatment.
