Lime Solicitors—Martin Usher

Lime solicitors appoints catastrophic injury partner 
Consumer specialist law firm Lime Solicitors has appointed heavy-weight catastrophic injury partner Martin Usher, to lead the new specialist service offering, as part of the firm’s growth strategy. 


Enhancing Lime Solicitors’ personal injury team in London, Martin has more than 15 years’ experience in serious injury and major trauma, specialising in claims involving traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, complex musculoskeletal injuries, amputations and fatalities.  

Martin joins the firm from Moore Barlow, having worked on high profile cases such as the 2017 Westminster terror attack, during which he achieved a seven-figure sum for his client - the highest settlement awarded from that incident to date. 

Martin said: “It is crucial that we help our clients get the help and support they need to rebuild their lives again after an accident or trauma. For this reason I take a rehabilitation-focused approach, keeping well-connected to a range of health care professionals so that both the physical and mental health needs are met for my clients. 

“I am very excited about joining Lime Solicitors as they are an empathetic, progressive, forward-thinking firm who put the needs of clients first, which is proven by their five star reviews and excellent track record.  

“I look forward to playing my part in building on the exceptional work already being carried out by the firm, and to enhance the growing reputation of the personal injury team as a market leader in the serious injury and major trauma fields.” 

Tony Hannington, head of Lime Solicitors, said: “I am delighted Martin has joined our growing London operation, his vast knowledge and experience of dealing with the complex issues arising out of serious injury and trauma is absolutely vital to ensure rehabilitation, care needs and financial security is achieved for our clients. 

 “Martin’s appointment adds further depth to our personal injury team and forms part of our growth strategy to be the leading consumer champion law-firm.” 

Lime Solicitors is proactively seeking mergers, acquisitions, team recruitment and lateral hires.
