Atherton Godfrey partner honoured with rare Brain Injury Specialist accreditation

John McQuater, partner and head of litigation at Doncaster law firm Atherton Godfrey, has been accredited as a Brain Injury Specialist. He is one of only 23 solicitors in England, and the only one in South Yorkshire, to receive this accolade.

The accreditation, awarded by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL), follows a rigorous assessment of his knowledge, skills, experience and success in managing and progressing traumatic brain injury compensation claims.

John, who has been handling personal injury cases for more than 30 years, holds APIL accreditation as a Senior Fellow and is an assessor for the APIL personal injury and clinical negligence accreditation schemes. 

He is now also an assessor for the brain injury specialist accreditation scheme, where he will use his expertise to assess the capabilities of those lawyers aiming to specialise in this highly complex field.
