Position
Daniel Neill specialises in personal injury, clinical negligence and regulatory work (healthcare).
He has a busy personal injury practice, acting for claimants and defendants in a broad spectrum of claims. He has recently settled a chronic pain claim for a former member of the armed forces for £800,000 and a claim on behalf of several vulnerable dependants following a fatal road traffic accident for £1million. He is regularly instructed by defendants in employers’ liability claims and where fundamental dishonesty is alleged. He undertakes work in all the usual practice areas.
His clinical negligence practice ranges from surgical and obstetrics claims to more niche areas such as ophthalmology and dentistry. He has a loyal following of solicitors with whom he enjoys working closely from the very outset of cases, providing a strategic overview from pre-action correspondence to settlement or trial.
