Head of catastrophic injury earns APIL accreditation

London firm Osbornes Law has celebrated the recognition of its head of catastrophic injury, Ben Posford, who has earned accreditation from the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).

Ben has gained accreditation for APIL’s brain injury and fatal accident specialist schemes, as well as being confirmed as an assessor for future candidates for the schemes. The APIL accreditation scheme, which has been running for almost 20 years, recognises highly experienced and skilled specialists; there are currently 125 APIL Fellows in the UK.

Ben commented: ‘It is important that lawyers who have built a reputation based on high levels of client service and a deep understanding of their fields of expertise are able to obtain appropriate accreditation to set them apart from less experienced practitioners, particularly when so many people rely on the internet for finding the right lawyer and completing their own due diligence.

‘I hope with these two advanced accreditations my clients, both present and future, will feel the peace of mind that comes with knowing that they are in safe hands, and that my team and I will be doing everything we can to fight their corner in circumstances of terrible loss or life-changing injuries.’
