Natasha Burnett is Head of Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence at Timms Solicitors which has offices in Derby, Burton-on-Trent, Swadlincote and Ashby.
She has been awarded Senior Litigator accreditation status by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) - a not-for-profit organisation committed to supporting injured people.
APIL chief executive Mike Benner explained: “The APIL accreditation logo lets injured people and their families know that they are in the very safest hands and that their lawyers are dedicated to getting their lives back on track.
“APIL members who are awarded accredited status must demonstrate expertise and experience and be up-to-date with the latest legal training and developments in the law.
“As an organisation we are committed to driving excellence in the personal injury sector and fighting for prompt and fair redress for victims of negligence. APIL has been doing this for over thirty years and is the trusted voice of injured people.”
Natasha specialises in all aspects of Personal Injury law - advising and supporting clients who have suffered life changing injuries including traumatic brain injury, spinal injury, amputations, multiple fractures and industrial illness.
She said: “Membership and now recognition as a senior litigator by APIL is very important to me and I wholeheartedly share the association’s vision of a society without needless injury but, when people are injured, that they should receive the justice they need to rebuild their lives.
“I am particularly passionate about early rehabilitation interventions for my clients to ensure they are given the best chance of recovery and to help them regain their independence as soon as possible.”
Timms Solicitors’ managing partner Fiona Moffat concluded: “We are extremely proud that Natasha’s hard work and dedication has been officially recognised in this way.
“As well as being an excellent lawyer, Natasha is sensitive and supportive in her approach and provides practical advice to her clients who are going through a very difficult time in their lives.”
