About
Provided by Paul McNeil
Career
I have nearly 30 years' experience acting for people injured through medical negligence and personal injury accidents. My cases include:
Medical Negligence claims
Personal Injury claims
Work Accident claims
Road Traffic Accidents claims
International personal injury claims
Many of these claims involve serious head injuries or birth injuries and have settled for more than £1 million. This ensures my clients receive adequate compensation to pay for education, rehabilitation, care and treatment.
In 2018, my client, a severely disabled six-year-old boy, was awarded £37 million after contracting the Herpes Simplex in hospital, leading to catastrophic brain damage.
I regularly speak at events including the RoadPeace and BISWG (Brain Injury Social Work Group) conferences. I have also contributed a chapter to the well-received Experts in the Civil Courts edited by Sir Louis Blom Cooper QC.
I was named Lawyer of the Year 2023 for Clinical Negligence, London in The Best Lawyers in the UK awards.
Professional Memberships
I am a member of AvMA (Action against Medical Accidents), the Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel, the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL), and a Fellow of the Society for Advanced Legal Studies.
