Personal Injury
Alethea’s personal injury practice focuses on road traffic accidents, employer’s liability, and occupier’s liability, in relation to which she has conducted a number of successful strike-out applications.
As well as her own cases, Alethea gained personal injury experience as a pupil for Alexander Macpherson during the “practising” six months of her pupillage. She has assisted other members of Chambers with a variety of personal injury matters, including in relation to secondary psychiatric injury, occupiers’ liability, industrial and occupational diseases, and drafting schedules and counter-schedules.
Examples of her recent work include:
- Advising a defendant bus company on the most appropriate procedural course of action in response to a claimant passenger’s late service of the Particulars of Claim and medical evidence.
- Defence, counter schedule and advice in relation to a case of alleged acoustic shock, tinnitus and hearing loss, including consideration of whether vicarious liability would be established against a further education college for a student (as a pupil).
- Defence and advice on whether a strike-out application might be appropriate in relation to a claim for psychiatric injury brought by a secondary victim (as a pupil).
She is a member of the Personal Injury Bar Association.
