Bridget is a solicitor in our Personal Injury Team, specialising in claims for Brain and Spinal injury.
Having qualified as a solicitor in 1991, Bridget has always had a passion for personal injury work, she has been specialised as a Claimant solicitor since 1995. Bridget has worked for High Street firms in South Wales, leading their Personal Injury Departments, before joining Royds Withy King in 2020 from Harding Evans.
Bridget has extensive experience of litigation and has acted for Claimants in many types of accidents, and with varying degree of injury. She considers all clients should be treated with the same respect and dignity, regardless of severity of injury. She enjoys building client relationships and was once complimented by a client as being more like a friend than a solicitor. She considers herself to have a realistic approach to identifying the strengths and weaknesses of a claim and this awareness was enhanced by training as a mediator.
Bridget has secured many multi – million pound settlements for clients during her career, acting for both adults and children. She is aware of the considerable impact such injuries have on the whole family unit and takes a personable, empathetic approach when considering their needs alongside those of the injured person.
Bridget enjoys travelling, hill walking, rugby and football, she also plays the guitar and volunteers for Age Connect as a befriender.

I have always enjoyed the challenge of the more complex brain and spinal injury cases, the intensity of work that comes with such cases and the satisfaction of knowing I was part of a team that helped to improve a quality of life for an injured person. I consider all clients should be treated with the same respect and dignity, regardless of severity of injury. I enjoy building and maintaining the client relationships and taking on some of their burdens when things become overwhelming for them.
