Employers' and public liability

We have a team of specialist lawyers dedicated to dealing with all aspects of employer and public liability claims in the NHS. We were recently reappointed to the NHS Litigation Authority’s panel of solicitors which was established to defend NHS bodies against such claims.

Operating out of both our Liverpool and Manchester offices, we act for clients throughout the North West and the Midlands. Team members provide practical legal solutions, combining unique NHS and healthcare experience with wider insurance litigation expertise.

Areas of expertise include:

  • Manual handling claims 
  • Industrial disease claims 
  • Tripping and slipping accidents 
  • Work-related stress and bullying/harassment
  • Road traffic accidents
