Dawn Treloar

Practice Areas

Dawn has extensive experience representing clients in claims across all fields of care, including birth injury; brain and spinal injury; medical, surgical and orthopaedic care; and claims involving GP care. She also represents clients in fatal claims, including those where representation at inquest is required. She is committed to achieving excellent results for her clients in even the most robustly contested cases. Past successes include achieving settlement with a complex provisional damages award for her client with a urological injury following orthopaedic surgery; acting in a number of cases where children and young people have tragically lost their lives from sepsis, not only recovering damages but ensuring changes are made to help prevent such incidents happening again; and achieving excellent outcomes for a number of clients with birth injury claims where catastrophic injury has been sustained. Dawn adopts a proactive approach to ensure where possible that her seriously injured clients can benefit from early interim payments, and have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

Dawn’s meticulous investigation of claims and her exceptional legal skills, combined with her clinical knowledge and experience gained in her former nursing career, yield impressive results for her clients, with her clients also benefitting from her outstanding and empathetic client care skills.
