Jacob Underwood

I've worked in personal injury for over 15 years and am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives. I mostly represent vulnerable road users such as motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians. These cases, due to the nature of the injuries and liability involved, are usually more severe and require expert handling and attention to detail. Prior to coming to Minster Law, I helped to set up and worked for National Accident Law as a senior litigator, and prior to that I worked for one of the UK’s largest motorcycle insurers. Throughout my career, I've helped clients who have suffered serious and life-changing injuries recover the compensation and support they need to rebuild their lives.

My passion is getting the best outcome for my clients at every stage of their claim; whether this is an early payment to support them financially, the right treatment to get them back on their feet, or ultimately the final settlement they deserve. I particularly enjoy overcoming disputed cases and achieving a favourable outcome for the client.

1. Jacob’s highest settlement to date was £750,000 for a client left partially wheelchair-bound after her husband fell asleep at the wheel and the car collided with a tree.
2. Jacob has won all three cases that proceeded to trial against clients facing unfounded allegations of fundamental dishonesty, demonstrating his tenacity and commitment.
