Leigh Ganderton
Legal Director - Personal Injury
"I am a personal injury solicitor with a special interest in assisting clients who have sustained serious and life changing injuries”
I am a legal director within the catastrophic injury and major trauma team at Higgs.
I started my legal career in 1993 and qualified as a solicitor in 2003. I owed my own practice and have spent my career representing seriously injured people.
I have wide ranging experience in representing clients who have been injured at work, in road accidents and in public places. My experience includes representing clients who have life changing injuries including complex orthopaedic injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, and fatal accidents.
I believe that access to early rehabilitation is paramount, and I strive to achieve the best possible outcome in terms of both treatment and financial settlement.
I am passionate about helping my clients and I strive to build a close relationship with them to ensure they have clear advice and support throughout the process.
