Chambers of Michael Hayton KC

Deans Court Chambers ‘has a strong personal injury offering’ and its members act for both claimants and defendants. The set houses Daniel Paul, who frequently handles cases involving serious and catastrophic injuries, injuries leading to death, and matters concerning complex medical evidence. James Hogg primarily acts for defendants in cases concerning road accidents, public liability, and employer liability, especially those regarding industrial disease and claims of dishonesty. Of recent note, Hogg represented an employer in a case after a woman alleged she sustained a significant knee injury when she fell down an unguarded drain in her workplace. Zoe Earnshaw also mainly acts for defendants in catastrophic injury claims, and David Boyle represented the employer of a man who suffered a fractured skull in the workplace. Stephen Grime KC has particular expertise in the technical and legal issues concerning motor insurance, and Simon McCann is skilled in cases where surveillance is key to a defendant’s case.
