Helen Ford

I qualified as a Solicitor in 2007 and specialised in Claimant personal injury. I have worked within the Claimant serious injury area since 2013, which gives me an in-depth understanding of how an accident can affect all aspects of a person's life. I have experience acting for clients who have sustained brain injuries, serious orthopaedic injuries, psychological conditions, and fatal accidents, including both adults and children.

I'm passionate about making the claims process as smooth as possible while obtaining the best possible outcome for my clients. I understand that a life-changing injury affects not only the individual but their whole family, and that rehabilitation forms a large part of their recovery. I work collaboratively with insurers to secure rehabilitation and interim payments so that my clients can focus on their recovery. Knowing that I have acted with compassion and supported my clients in securing a settlement that will make a difference to their future is hugely rewarding.

I live in South Wales with my husband, teenager and dog, who all keep me busy. Outside of work, I love travelling with my family, reading crime and thriller novels, and going to the theatre.
