Injury lawyer details for Lisa Fairclough

About Lisa Fairclough

I am an Associate Solicitor in Irwin Mitchell's Serious Injury Team.  My role is to help people who have suffered major injuries, usually in the form of crush injuries, fractures to one or several bones, amputations and/or psychological symptoms caused by their accident.  

I am an APIL Accredited "Senior Litigator" which means that APIL have checked my expertise and competency in representing claimants in personal injury cases and they are happy that I meet with all the necessary requirements.  I have been working in the law since 1996 and qualified as a solicitor in 1999.  I specialise in helping those injured in road accidents and in the workplace, and I have experience of claims arising in almost every type of work environment (ranging from building sites, factories, steelworks to office environments).  My aim for my clients is not only to obtain compensation for their injuries, but also to enable people to access rehabilitation to assist them in getting to their best level of recovery as quickly as possible. 

I also have an interest in psychological injuries and have appeared on Panorama discussing the impact of psychological injuries such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and have represented the families of those involved in fatal workplace accidents.

Outside of work I spend a lot of time standing around (cold) football pitches watching my son’s team play.  I also enjoy eating out, cinema and school mums’ book club (also known as wine club).
