Eleanor Thompson

Associate
Background
I have experience working in the personal injury and Court of Protection departments at a high street firm in South Yorkshire, before moving to Minster Law.
I have worked on serious injury cases since joining Minster Law, including serious and life-changing orthopaedic injuries, brain injuries, chronic pain and psychological symptoms. I regularly work alongside case managers to ensure that my clients have the rehabilitation and support they need following injury. I also work with experts and barristers to ensure that I achieve the best outcomes for my clients.
Case Experience
  • Eleanor secured an award of over £500,000 for a young client who sustained a significant ankle injury, leaving him with permanent restrictions that affected his career plans.
  • Eleanor secured an award of £175,000 for a client who sustained significant fractures to his pelvis and a brachial plexus injury, resulting in reduced movement and strength in his hand.
  • Through collaboration with the Defendant’s solicitor, Eleanor put in place a care package for a client who sustained multiple traumatic orthopaedic injuries. The package included case management, physiotherapy, psychological therapy, private orthopaedic treatment, and adaptations to the home and garden to improve access and independence during the initial recovery phase.

"Eleanor has worked on my case over the last few years, she has been very thorough and has always gone above and beyond to support me. Eleanor would always go over things and explain them in good detail and she would always keep me in the loop with what was going on, she left no stone unturned in order to help me and to get the best possible outcome. I am very grateful and appreciative of the effort she has put in on my case, I would strongly recommend her to anybody unfortunate enough to be going through something similar in the future."

"I was unfortunately involved in a road traffic accident back in February 2024... I would therefore like to thank Minster Law and to express my deepest gratitude to them and to their very kind, patient and professional staff and in particular Eleanor Thompson, who have supported me and reassured me every step of the way during my physical and emotional recovery during this time... Thank you Minster Law & Eleanor Thompson."

"Eleanor and Caroline. Both were very helpful, Although this case took three years to resolve it was not straightforward, and I appreciate you both keeping me up to date on matters."

"A big thank you to all that assisted me; Jacob, Clare, Eleanor and Chelsea. They made the process stress free, sorted all the consultant appointments out and kept me informed throughout. I'm delighted with the outcome."

I have worked with Eleanor on dozens of serious injury and brain injury cases over the last decade or so. Her exceptional attention to detail is equalled by her kindness, empathy, dedication to her clients, and patience even in the most difficult of circumstances. This combination is truly impressive. Her clients are extremely well-served by her. I have always seen Eleanor strive for the best outcome for her clients. She without fail maintains her composure and commitment even in the most challenging of litigation situations or against the most difficult of opponents, whether working individually or as part of a team. Eleanor is a credit to her profession, and I have no hesitation in recommending her to clients. I have repeatedly recommended her over the last few years to the legal directories, which I do not do lightly.
