Law firm adds to PI with catastrophic injury experts

LAW firm JMW Solicitors has added to its personal injury team with two new hires, creating a catastrophic injury team.

Paul Breen was head of the catastrophic injury team at Liverpool firm Cassell Moore.

He joins JMW as head of catastrophic injury in the personal injury team, along with solicitor Natalie Clarke.

Breen has more than 30 years’ experience in dealing with large and complex personal injury cases, has extensive expertise in fatal accident claims and is an expert in motorcycle accident claims.

He brings to JMW two major referrers of work: Principal Insurance and The BRain Charity, based in Liverpool.

Prinicpal Insurance specialises in motor bike, van and specialist car insurance, and is based in Sale.

The Brain Charity offers emotional support, practical help and social activities to anyone with a neurological condition and their friends, families and carers. This includes working with people who have experienced head and brain injuries.

Dave Bowcock, Principal’s chief executive, said: “We have known Paul for many years are confident that our clients are in the hands of one of the most knowledgeable and experienced practitioners in the country. We look forward to a long relationship with him at JMW.”

Paul previously worked with JMW’s senior partner Joy Kingsley at Pannone.

Kingsley said: “Having worked with Paul at Pannone I know that he brings with him a wealth of experience in dealing with multi-track and fatal accident personal injury claims.

“They and the work referral sources they bring with them, Principal Insurance and The Brain Charity, are a welcome addition to our excellent Personal Injury department.”

Breen added: “The personal injury team at JMW have an excellent reputation and this was a huge attraction for me. In the type of cases I deal with it is important to work at a firm that is compassionate and caring, which can offer the best possible service to my clients at a difficult period in their lives.”
