Nikolas Stott

Personal injury.

Nikolas qualified as a solicitor in 1997. For the first ten years of practice, he was a claimant solicitor. Initially he predominantly worked on RTA claims before moving to deal with employers’ and public liability claims. In 2007 he joined BLM’s casualty department in Liverpool. Since this time, Nikolas has dealt with mainly large loss. He also handles matters that have novel issues and case with potentially difficult PR issues. More recently he has been dealing with claims with a catastrophic element to them, for example, brain injury, amputations, serious spinal injuries and serious psychological injuries. He has a specific interest in cases involving chronic pain and complex regional pain syndrome. Nikolas has been heavily involved in BLM’s response to the MoJ reforms and the implementation of the Jackson Reforms. He has provided firm wide training in relation to claims handling on the new EL/PL portal.
