What is a Personal Injury?
At St Pauls Chambers, our personal injury and clinical negligence barristers advise claimants and defendants on all issues arising from personal injury and clinical negligence claims.
Members of chambers undertake work at Silk and Junior Counsel level in catastrophic injury claims, fatal accidents, industrial disease, road traffic accident claims, employers liability, public liability and clinical negligence claims.
Barristers can be instructed both on a conditional fee basis, or on a private client basis.
We pride ourselves on being approachable. Our Leeds Barristers are available for informal advice in the day-to-day management of any ongoing litigation on any issues which have arisen. We also operate a quick turnaround policy in respect of paperwork, and appreciate the importance of an efficient service, without compromising on high standards.
See below for our full specialisms in the realm of personal injury, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our clerks if you require any further assistance.

Occupational Disease
Members of Chambers are regularly instructed to act in claims for industrial disease, in particular regarding; Asbestos, Control of Substances Hazardous to Health, work-related upper limb disorder, vibration white finger, asthma and other respiratory conditions, dermatitis, cancer, deafness and stress claims. Counsel are fully aware of the additional demands created by disease work and are keen to be involved at the earliest stage in the litigation process to assist in the marshalling of the issues in the case through to trial. Members undertake interlocutory work and trial work and pride themselves as working as part of a team, understanding the importance that expert witnesses can play in such work.

Members of chambers undertake work regarding clinical negligent disputes on a regular basis. Recent cases have included claims against consultants, general practitioners, physiotherapists and dentists. Work is undertaken for both Claimants and Defendants, and barristers are able to cater for all levels of medical negligence cases, from fast track to multi-million pound settlements.
Catastrophic Injury

Members are able to forensically assess the issues in a claim and add real value, with client care being of paramount importance. Our practitioners pride themselves on being approachable and willing to assist in the day-to-day management of each claim, and enjoy working together with the instructing solicitor throughout the long life that such claims often have.
