Law firm welcomes new partner to personal injury team

Law firm Lester Aldridge has recently welcomed David Healy as a partner in the personal injury team.

David brings over 21 years’ experience in the industry and has previously led the personal injury and medical negligence teams in various firms. 

Specialising in cases for those seriously injured, David has acted in many high profile cases, typically involving spinal cord damage, brain injury, amputations and/or serious burns.

He had been accredited with the Law Society Personal Injury Panel for over 10 years and has been an approved solicitor with both the Headway and Spinal Injuries charities.

Tim Blackwell, head of personal injury and clinical negligence said: 'It’s great that David has joined the team. David is a very talented practitioner in the personal injury field. We welcomed Paula Barnes to the firm last year and now with the addition of David it demonstrates our commitment to support the firm’s growth in catastrophic injury work.'
