Provided by Clair Wilson
Clair Wilson is a highly accomplished clinical negligence lawyer and a supervisor of colleagues in the clinical negligence and serious injury units which cover North Eastern England, Yorkshire & Humberside and Cumbria.
While Clair manages other serious injury and medical negligence solicitors, she also runs her own caseload involving particularly complex and high-value litigation.
Clair represents clients who have undergone life-changing injuries and illnesses, caused or exacerbated by medical incompetence and delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of potentially fatal conditions such as cancer. Sometimes patients have died as a direct result of the clinical errors.
The cases taken by Clair involve injuries sustained during delivery (such as cerebral palsy), injuries to the brain, loss of limbs and injuries to the spinal column (cauda equina syndrome in particular).
Clair became a solicitor in 2001, and during the first part of her career represented clients suffering from a range of personal injuries. Cases involved employer’s liability, public liability and road accidents. Her work also involved people who were suffering stress, deafness, Repetitive Strain Injury and exposure to hazardous substances. Clair is committed - like Thompsons as a whole – to representing exclusively the victims of injustice and not those who are responsible for their plight, or their insurance companies.
Clair is proud of her record of giving clients the best possible professional advice and cherishes the accolades she regularly receives from clients. Clair’s aim is always to win the highest possible compensation in the shortest time possible.
Clair is a member of the Law Society's clinical negligence panel which is testimony to her widely respected expertise and knowledge in her specialism. Clair is also a member of the medical negligence charity, AvMA (Action Against Medical Accidents), which provides free independent advice and support to people affected by medical accidents.
In her spare time, Clair spends as much time as possible with her husband and sons and enjoys walking in the Lake District.
