Mark’s particular interests include representing cyclists and vulnerable road users, injuries caused by animals, fatal accident claims, acting for clients that don’t have capacity to conduct litigation themselves and professional negligence claims.

Mark is a keen cyclist and advocate for vulnerable road users generally. He has built up significant experience in this field over the years and is passionate about pursuing claims of this nature and improving road safety generally.

Having succeeded with all manner of claims for injuries caused by animals, in negligence and under the Animals Act, Mark is an expert in claims of this nature, commonly involving cattle, horses, dogs or pigs.

Mark has established a niche practice representing individuals who suffer serious injuries whilst being cared for by others. These individuals are represented by their litigation friend due to their vulnerability and inability to conduct their own litigation.

Cycling accident claims

If you have been injured whilst cycling, we can provide specialist legal advice to get you the compensation you deserve. Our team of specialists are all cyclists and bring that passion and insight to your compensation claim following an accident that was not your fault.

Road traffic accident claims

Road traffic accidents are all too common. Whether you’ve been injured as a driver, pedestrian, passenger, motorcyclist, rider or cyclist, you may be entitled to compensation to help you get your life back on track

Animal injury claims

If you have been injured by an animal, our team of specialist animal accident solicitors are here to help you. The law is complex, and many lawyers brush off animal accidents as ‘just one of those things.’ But not us.

Fatal injury claims

If you’ve lost a loved one it will undoubtedly be a very distressing time for you and your family. This is especially the case if you believe the death occurred as a result of an accident or due to substandard care.

Injury

We understand how traumatic and life changing an injury can be, so place a team around every client to ensure you get the care, recovery, and compensation you deserve.

"To be warm, understanding and supportive at the same time as being cool, objective and incisive is a rare special blend."

"I’ll never be the person I was before the accident but without your help I would definitely be less of a person I am now. You handled the case incredibly sensitively"
