Three appointments for new launch
BL Claims Solicitors has made three appointments following its launch as a new brand.
The firm, which specialises in clinical negligence, personal injury and travel claims, has appointed David Healy as a partner and head of the personal injury team.
David joins the firm from Sampson Coward in Salisbury. Originally beginning his career in commercial and private litigation, he now has more than 15 years’ experience dealing with clinical negligence and personal injury claims. He specialises in multi-million pound clinical claims, usually involving brain or spinal cord damage, cases with clients who have been involved in motorcycle and cycling accidents and claims against the armed forces.
Deborah Lewis, also previously of Sampson Coward, is another new appointment. She has more than 14 years’ experience in personal injury litigation and specialises in injuries arising out of accidents at work, particularly as a result of dangerous equipment or unsafe workplaces.
She also has experience with clients who have been involved in road traffic accidents, particularly those involving serious injuries.
Martin Usher, previously of Berrymans Lace Mawer, joins BL Claims Solicitors as an associate. Martin has seven years’ experience and has dealt with a broad range of claims. He specialises in high value and catastrophic injury claims.
BL Claims Solicitors is part of the Blake Morgan group which was formed following the merger of Blake Lapthorn and Morgan Cole at the beginning of July.
Head of the firm, Dr John White, says: “We’re delighted to make these key appointments to the growing team at BL Claims Solicitors. David brings with him a wealth of expertise in high-value clinical negligence and personal injury claims. He, Deborah and David together have a wealth of experience and are already proving themselves to be valuable additions to the firm.”
