Firm appoints new insurance partner to its Claims Solutions Group

DAC Beachcroft has announced the appointment of Bobby Walia as a partner in its Claims Solutions Group.

A specialist in defending high value personal injury claims arising from road traffic accidents, Bobby joined Claims Solutions Group's motor services team earlier in the year. With over 15 years' experience of personal injury work, he spent the previous six years at Carpenters Law as a partner and head of its defence litigation practice and at DB Legal.

Sara May, head of motor services at DAC Beachcroft Claims Solutions, said: "Bobby is a great addition to our motor services team. His significant experience of handling motor-related injury claims, particularly those involving trauma and head injuries, is a further boost to our already outstanding national motor claims team.

"His arrival is another example of how we are continuing to build our claims business to meet client demands."
