New director of medical negligence
Your Legal Friend has announced the appointment of a new director of medical negligence, Laura Morgan.
Laura is recognised within the legal profession as a leader in the field of medical negligence and serious injury compensation. She has acted in a wide range of cases over her 17 years in practice and has particular expertise in acting for children who have suffered brain injury due to mismanaged birth or surgical errors, and in managing claims that have resulted in the death of a loved one.
Laura has been a member of the Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel since 2005 and accredited as a senior litigator in the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers since 2006. Laura is also a member of the specialist lawyers panel for Action against Medical Accidents, the UK’s leading charity committed to patient safety and justice.
Colin Gibson, chief operating officer at Your Legal Friend, comments: “We are delighted to welcome Laura to the team. Her appointment will enable us to build on our existing expertise and the support we can provide to clients who are often in very difficult circumstances. We already secure a 95% success rate for our personal injury clients and I am sure that Laura’s proven expertise in this specialist area of law will enable us to secure the compensation that innocent victims of medical negligence deserve.
“Laura’s appointment highlights the calibre of people we are attracting to the business and is testimony to our reputation as a leading claimant firm.”
Laura adds: “Your Legal Friend is already building a strong profile for its medical negligence work so this is an exciting opportunity to lead and expand our specialist, dedicated team in a very challenging but highly rewarding legal sector. The effects of medical negligence can be devastating for the individual and their families, so securing appropriate compensation for them as quickly as possible is our top priority."
