Henry is a highly regarded senior junior who has practised exclusively in personal injury, clinical negligence and occupational illness for almost two decades. He has experience of the full spectrum of serious injuries, especially brain, obstetric and the most severe orthopaedic injuries such as amputation. Fatal claims are also a particular area of expertise. In the field of clinical negligence, Henry acts most often in claims arising from birth injuries, spinal surgery or delayed intervention with serious or fatal consequences.
Clinical Negligence
Henry has experience in a wide spectrum of clinical negligence work including cases involving midwives, surgeons, optometrists, dentists, general practitioners, nurses and care workers.
He has acted for a very wide range of clients, on both sides of the litigation process including private individuals, NHS Trusts, medical defence organisations and private medical and related institutions.
Personal injury
Henry accepts instructions in almost all areas of personal injury work. He is presently instructed in accidents at work, asbestos-related litigation, accidents abroad and various public liability claims. He has particular expertise in fatal accident claims. Henry has a busy road traffic practice. He is involved in accidents that have led to fatality, amputation, or other serious injury, or where there are issues relating to the liability of the MIB or road traffic insurer. He has successfully concluded multiple head injury claims, those for amputees and many other maximum severity cases. Henry has also received instructions on behalf of high earning claimants. Henry does not accept instructions in claims with a value below £100,000, unless there is a particularly interesting point of law or procedure. He would expect to act without a leader in the vast majority of sub-catastrophic cases.
