Andrew Taylor

I am an accomplished negotiator, High Court litigator and advocate for vulnerable adults and children. I have extensive experience dealing with difficult high quantum injury claims, involving brain, spinal, bladder and bowel as well as a proven track record in Fatal Accident Act claims, representing Claimant’s families at inquest.

I recognise the life changing effect Gynaecological and Obstetric injuries have on injured women and have been instructed on multi-million-pound wrongful birth and issues concerning lack of capacity. I have recovered millions of pounds in damages for future loss, accommodation, aids and equipment and future care. I regularly work alongside Kings Counsel in Manchester and London, and I enjoy working alongside our Private Client team and Court of Protection solicitors. I relish presenting cases with the utmost professionalism and dignity.

I have a specialist interest in health and safety law, becoming qualified in Occupational Safety and Health, Level 6. I enjoy reviewing accident-related data, serious incident reports, root cause analysis, care quality commission interventions, risk assessments in the healthcare sector and love all aspects of medical liability law. I have detailed knowledge of complex surgical procedures, risks and benefits, and the laws surrounding informed consent.

I regularly take instructions from Deputies on Court of Protection, related matters and incidents involving those without litigation capacity, in both the old and young. I have experience in spotting discrete brain injuries and persons with cognitive impairment and neurodiversity, that have been affected by negligence of the state. I will always strive to be successful in changing the lives of injured persons for the better, when they have been severely and irreversibly let down.
