Practice Areas

Martyn has significant experience representing victims of accidents which have happened abroad or those who have contracted illnesses overseas. Martyn also represents clients where accidents have happened in England or Wales, but where there is an international element to the case.

Based in Manchester, Martyn is national head of Thompsons Solicitors’ cross-border claims department and covers the greater part of the United Kingdom.

Martyn’s expertise centres on personal injury and deals with accident claims that occurred from holidays abroad or while clients were working overseas. The accidents can involve transport of all kinds, accidents on oil rigs and offshore platforms and diving accidents. Martyn has experience in representing clients who have sustained major injuries to the brain and spine, or where the accidents have resulted in amputations or serious burns.

A key element of Martyn’s expertise is in dealing with litigation involving disputes over which country’s law is applicable.
