Personal Injury, Disease, Clinical Negligence

Urd accepts instructions in all areas of personal injury.

She appears in court (both remotely and in person) on a daily basis and has experience with conducting trials on both liability and quantum ranging from RTA and credit hire matters through to public liability claims.

She regularly represents both Claimants and Defendants on the small claims track and fast track as well as in directions hearings, dispute resolution hearings, infant settlement approvals, interim applications, MOJ Stage 3 cases and dismissals.

She has a comprehensive understanding of credit hire case law and has been recognised for her ability to present her case in persuasive and attractive terms. She has on several occasions, whilst acting for Defendants in credit hire matters, had the full credit hire claim dismissed on the basis of arguments made in terms of need or enforceability.

From her time at Clyde & Co, Urd brings with her excellent research skills which she frequently employs when advising on cases, preparing written submissions or drafting pleadings.

In terms of her Disease practice, Urd is particularly interested in cases involving occupational disease, and has previously advised and drafted particulars of claim in matters involving upper-limb disorders, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

She is also happy to prepare questions for medical experts and advise in conference, or assist with drafting witness statements.

Urd also welcomes instructions to advise on clinical negligence matters and draft statements of case.

Urd is very thorough and has an eye for detail, which makes her particularly good at reviewing medical reports and records. She has previously assisted with reviewing and summarising medical evidence on a claim pleaded at several million pounds

Urd was called to the Bar by the Middle Temple in 2017, and joined St John’s Buildings as a tenant in October 2020 following the completion of her pupillage under the supervision of  Timothy Connolly.
