I joined the firm almost 20 years ago and have worked almost exclusively in Serious Injury Law and Clinical Negligence during this time. During my time at Birchall Blackburn Law I have headed a number of Departments and been responsible for securing significant damages for vulnerable clients following surgical errors, involving Obstetrics and Gynaecology, ureteric and bladder injuries, complex spinal injuries involving Dural tears and CSF leakages, cauda equina syndrome, and patients effected with compartment syndrome following crush injuries.
Many of my clients have been left with serious Nerve Damage and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome CRPS. I have an interest in Orthopaedics and have dealt with a number of cases involving negligent hip and knee replacement surgery and product liability due to device failures.
A number of my clients are protected beneficiaries due to the extent of their injuries, usually following significant head injuries and polytrauma’s. I work closely with our Private Client department to ensure Deputy’s are appointed where necessary to assist the Claimant and their families through the litigation process and The Court of Protection.
In the past I have successfully recovered significant Provisional Damage Awards for injured Claimants and amputee’s, recovering significant damages for the purchase of suitable properties, prosthetic limbs, aids, adaptations, past and future losses, treatment and care claims.
I am particularly interested in accident and injury prevention which lead to me studying for an Occupational Safety and Health qualification, to degree standard. I am proficient in Risk Assessment, both pre and post incident. I have been instructed in a number of Inquests to protect the interests of family members who have lost relatives due to alleged surgical errors and inadequate risk assessments, particularly involving elderly patients and assessing falls risk.
I ended up working in law because I enjoyed debate at school and was a member of the debating club. I became very versed at holding a good argument, as I became older my family knew I was destined for a career as a lawyer.
The company were extremely supportive and helpful and despite significant obstacles Andrew Taylor remained focused and intent on achieving a successful outcome for me. Thank you so much Andrew and Jasmine for everything I could not be happier with the outcome.
Despite two defendant Trusts challenging the case, Andrew Taylor, secured judgement swiftly after court proceedings were issued after a contested application. Andrew managed to obtain an interim payment to enable me to seek private treatment. From day one, Andrew has always remained focused and intent on achieving a successful outcome for me. After a stay to allow for negotiations was agreed, a settlement was achieved which I am delighted with. I can’t thank Andrew enough for all his hard work and dedication given not only to the case but also to me!
Andrew, Jasmine and all the staff who dealt with my claim were excellent. They guided and helped me through a very difficult period after my accident. They are truly professional and I can’t thank them enough.
You helped when nobody else would, and that was truly appreciated. I wish you all the very best, you deserve it, a helpful, honest, compassionate solicitor.
Andrew Taylor and the Healthcare and Clinical Risk team provided an excellent, professional and dedicated service that resulted in a successful personal injury claim. Andrew’s attention to detail was meticulous and I felt the upmost confidence in him and the team. Each part of the process was explained thoroughly and with sensitivity and any questions I had were answered promptly. I would highly recommend Birchall Blackburn Law.
