Traffic accident specialist appoints head of new Aberdeen office

Road Traffic Accident Law (Scotland) LLP (RTALS) has announced the appointment of Roz Boynton as associate solicitor. In this position, Roz will head up the firm’s newest office in Aberdeen and strengthen its specialised legal offering for issues stemming from motorcycle, cycle and pedestrian accidents.

Roz (pictured) has over ten years of experience in the civil litigation field, and joins RTALS from Thompsons Solicitors. In addition to her professional credentials, in her free time Roz is also a keen cycler and a member of the Aberdeen Wheelers Cycling Club, the VeloDees Cycling Group and the Fleet Feet Triathletes. Commenting on her new role, she said: ‘I have both worked and cycled with the RTALS team on many occasions, so greatly admire their approach and philosophy for championing vulnerable road users. I am looking forward to both supporting and promoting their mission for greater awareness of the vulnerability of two-wheeled road users and pedestrians. 

‘Our commitment to all our clients is to provide a first-class service offering continued support through the legal process with skill, expertise and compassion. The Aberdeen office will allow us to provide more local support to the many motorcyclists and cyclists we currently represent improving our commitment to a very personal service from lawyers who both cycle and ride motorcycles.’

RTALS senior partner and founder Brenda Mitchell added: ‘We are delighted to have Roz on board. Her specialist knowledge and experience as both a solicitor and cyclist make her a natural choice to join our highly specialised team. The sad fact is that our roads can present a disproportionate danger to motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians and it is important that those injured get the legal expertise and support they deserve.’
