DWF

A key port of call for defendant representation in group claims, traffic and workplace accidents, public sector liability and defective products, DWF's personal injury department is noted as ‘a first-rate team capable of handling cases of the highest value and complexity’. The team oversees a wide range of personal injury litigation, including severe cognitive, spinal and polytraumatic injuries, along with workplace injuries and multijurisdictional claims. Steven King co-heads the department with Mark Whittaker, both regarded as ports of call for public liability injuries, along with professional negligence. Claire Bowler regularly advises major private insurers in high-value traffic collision claims, typically involving large groups. Graham Dickinson frequently handles amputation, cognitive and spinal injury claims. Regarded as 'excellent on all fronts', Seema Bains holds over 20 years of experience in employer and public liability claims involving orthopaedic, brain and amputation injuries. Sara-Jane Eaton  is recommended for international claims, especially for injuries incurred while travelling abroad. Dan Mitchell typically operates in cases pertaining to injuries within the logistics and passenger transport sector, while John Lezemore  leads the department’s chronic pain claims team.
