Anna Wiseman
Work Department
Personal Injury
Position
Partner.
Anna has over 15 years’ experience dealing with catastrophic personal injury claims. She acts for claimants who have sustained serious head and spinal injuries and also has extensive experience of amputee and limb loss cases.
Anna recently represented Vicky Balch and Leah Washington who sustained amputations as a result of the Alton Towers Smiler rollercoaster crash. She is also instructed in the ongoing claim being brought by a child amputee who fell from a moving coach. She has previously obtained the largest known reported lump sum award for a single limb amputee in England for one of her clients.
Anna was also the solicitor acting in the widely referenced case of Best v Smyth where the claimant, who was rendered a paraplegic as a result of an accident, was successful in securing a substantial interim payment to enable him to purchase a property.
Anna acted for a claimant who claimed for significant loss of earnings after she sustained a serious brain injury and as a result had to give up her ambition to become a medical consultant.
Career
Anna completed her training contract at Henmans in Oxford, qualifying in September 2002. Upon qualification she joined Lyons Davidson as part of their Head and Spinal Injuries team, before joining Stewarts in 2008. Anna became a Partner in 2021.
