Personal Injury
Liana is regularly instructed to appear in small claims and fast track trials and applications, including matters involving fundamental dishonesty. She also advises on liability and quantum. Recent instructions include:
- Advising and settling a defence in a claim against a regulatory sports body for personal injuries arising out of a cycling accident.
- Advising on the prospects of defending a personal injury claim arising from the unloading of wooden panels, where the delivery was arranged by the first defendant and carried out by the second defendant.
As a judicial assistant in the Supreme Court, Liana worked on the case of CCC (by her mother and litigation friend MMM) v Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust [2026] UKSC 5, in which the majority of the Supreme Court held that child claimants can recover lost years’ earnings. Liana assisted Lady Rose, who dissented on this appeal.
Before commencing pupillage, Liana worked in the injury department of a leading law firm, where she was involved in a range of high-value and complex personal injury matters, including claims arising from spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries and amputations.
