18 St John Street Chambers ‘is a leading set which is home to a number of personal injury specialists’ who act for both claimants and defendants. Kane Simons leads the personal injury department and specialises in serious and catastrophic injury on the claimant side - he represented the claimant in a road traffic collision case in which a vintage Ferrari was written off, in which the valuation of the car was disputed. Elahe Youshani’s practice encompasses multi-track cases with an emphasis on serious injury, and she has substantial expertise in handling mandates regarding traffic accidents, employers’ liability, personal liability, industrial disease, and occupiers’ liability.
