Edel Selby

Partner
Background
I’ve specialised in personal injury law since 2004 and qualified as a solicitor in 2008.

Throughout my career, I’ve represented people who have suffered life-changing injuries, including serious orthopaedic injuries, amputations, and traumatic brain injuries — most resulting from major road traffic accidents. As an amputee specialist, I work closely with clients, medical experts, and rehabilitation teams to ensure every aspect of recovery is supported. This includes arranging early access to rehabilitation, prosthetic provision, and long-term support tailored to each individual’s goals and lifestyle.

Client care is central to everything I do. I understand how overwhelming and uncertain life can feel after a serious injury, so I make it my priority to be approachable, compassionate, and clear throughout the process. I believe that communicating and building trust together will help you feel more confident and in control of your future.

For me, a successful outcome is not only about securing the best possible financial settlement — it’s about helping rebuild your independence, restore your confidence, and achieve the best quality of life possible after injury. I take great satisfaction in seeing my clients reach important milestones in their recovery, whether that’s returning to work, enjoying family life, or taking part in sport again.

Over the years, I’ve secured millions of pounds in compensation for my clients, but what motivates me most is seeing the real difference that specialist rehabilitation, early support, and genuine care can make to a person’s recovery and long-term wellbeing. For me it’s about seeing people rebuild their lives after serious injury and helping them move forward with purpose and hope.
Case Experience
  1. I supported a single mother who suffered catastrophic injuries in a road traffic accident, and who had previously been the primary carer for her daughter, who has severe autism. Working closely with specialist experts, I secured a substantial settlement covering rehabilitation, care, adapted accommodation and long-term support for the whole family.

 

  1. I represented a young father who sustained a right leg amputation and crush injuries in a motorcycle collision, at a time when his partner was expecting their second child. I secured an early interim payment to fund private rehabilitation and prosthetics, and the case settled for a seven-figure sum, providing lifelong financial security and a suitable family home.

  1. I supported a 57-year-old client who suffered an above-knee amputation, a shoulder replacement and a head injury in a motorcycle collision, leaving him unable to continue his active lifestyle or care for a friend who relied on him. I secured a rehabilitation package covering physiotherapy, psychology and prosthetics, and the case settled for a seven-figure sum, giving him the security and support to return to his hobbies.

Neil’s story: Finding joy after amputation – Minster Law

 

  1. I represented a 35-year-old client who suffered a below-knee amputation and vascular injuries after a defendant emerged from a petrol station into his path on his motorcycle. Liability was admitted early, and I secured interim payments to fund a car, adapted accommodation and prosthetics, helping him return to work, rediscover his love of the gym, and settle for a substantial sum with lifelong security in place.

"When I had been in a car accident, our insurance company directed us to Minster Law to take our case. Although to begin with I was passed between a lot of different solicitors, this did not slow the process down. I was sent for an initial medical a couple of weeks after the accident and was then given physio, any future medical appointments and reviews were generally given quickly and in my local area. As my case progressed I was finally given Edel Selby as my solicitor until everything was finalised. I cannot fault her and her team (Jade and Liz), I was kept in the loop throughout the process. Edel was friendly and explained everything amazingly. I knew I was in the best hands to get the result I needed. I felt throughout, that I was in control of my case and the advice I was given was always in my best interest and I knew they were working as hard as they could to get a good result. The result they got for me has meant I can have a much better life, despite being left with long term problems. I would not hesitate to use & recommend Edel and her team, to anyone in a similar position! Thank you for everything!"

Very professional and were always at the end of the phone if we needed to speak to them. I would recommend Minster Law to anyone who needed their services. 10/10"
