Sarah Cunliffe

Personal Injury

Sarah qualified in September 2001 and joined Shoosmiths in 2003. Sarah is a Senior Associate serious injury lawyer who deals with a variety of Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence claims.

Sarah specialises in cases involving elder abuse/neglect and is passionate about achieving justice for vulnerable victims in these cases.

More often than not, Sarah acts for the families of those elderly or vulnerable people who have been abused/neglected as they themselves may suffer from conditions such as dementia and thus are considered to lack capacity under the Mental Health Act 2005.

Some of the individuals she helps get to the truth about what happened to their loved ones are widows or other family members who wish to bring claims on behalf of their relatives for the sub-standard treatment they received whilst in a care/nursing home (https://seriousinjury.shoosmiths.co.uk/vulnerable-adults/care-nursing-homes).

These claims can be very emotionally charged, protracted and upsetting for Sarah's clients and she offers support at all stages including representation at an inquest.

Sarah strives to make the litigation process as simple and stress free as possible for her clients. It is important to Sarah that they feel they can contact her with any queries they may have and that they feel Sarah is there to support them even at the most difficult times.
