Background
After spending my early career in academia, I then decided to pursue law and qualified as a solicitor specialising in personal injury, and I’ve now spent over a decade supporting seriously injured clients here at Minster Law as part of its Serious Injury Team.
I have a wealth of experience in bringing complex personal injury claims to a successful conclusion and have consistently achieved excellent results for my seriously injured clients. I’ve particular experience in supporting clients who’ve suffered brain injuries or serious orthopaedic injuries in motorbike accidents, including amputations, as well as those who have sadly gone on to develop significant psychological symptoms or pain conditions as a result of their life-changing injuries.
A personal injury claim can be a long, complicated process, but my promise is that I’ll guide you through each step of it and be available when you need to discuss what’s important to you. And while I’ll always secure the best possible compensation for you, I’ll also fight to get the right resources in place so you can focus on what’s most important – making your life better now.
This could include appointing a case manager that can put private therapies in place for you, such as physiotherapy, psychotherapy or neuro-rehabilitation, as well as having an occupational therapist visit your home to make it fit your needs. It also means fighting for interim payments to ease the financial strain that you feel when injured and out of work.

Case Experience
- Matthew secured a six-figure settlement for a vulnerable client who suffered permanent back pain following a fall over a loose paving slab that had taken place 10 years before the claim concluded.
- Matthew successfully had covert surveillance of his client thrown out of proceedings after proving it had been badly edited by the defendant’s insurer to present an unfair picture. He secured a judgment requiring a new version to be agreed, with vital footage of the client in pain and receiving assistance restored.
- Matthew secured a significant six-figure settlement for a pedestrian who suffered degloving injuries and serious psychiatric injuries. The defendant’s insurer denied liability for over five years until it was proven at trial that their driver had caused the injuries, despite the CPS having previously failed to secure a criminal conviction.
- Matthew secured a significant settlement for a client who had suffered a brain injury and ongoing symptoms six years after his motorcycle accident. The defendant insurer denied liability, but the case was won at trial, with the financial settlement exceeding the claimant’s own previous offers and securing additional costs and damages.
