What Monica’s Practice Covers
Road Traffic Accidents
Monica acts for drivers, passengers, cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians. She is experienced in claims involving uninsured or untraced drivers though the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, as well as cases involving disputed liability or multiple Defendants. Her work spans both fast-track and multi-track litigation and she manages claims from initial instruction through to settlement or trial, providing clear, practical advice and effective representation at every stage of the process.
Employer’s Liability
Monica advises employees who have been injured at work, acting in claims arising from manual handling accidents, machinery failures, falls from height and a wide range of other workplace incidents. She prepares the necessary evidence and drafts legal documents including letters of claim, witness statements, pleadings particulars and schedules of loss, instructs counsel and works closely with medical experts as the case requires.
Occupiers’ Liability
Monica represents individuals who have suffered injuries as a result of slips, trips and falls on commercial or public premises. She has experience acting in claims involving retail premises, local authority land and other public spaces, carefully investigating liability and causation issues to build the strongest possible case for her clients.
Serious and Complex Injury
High-value claims involving brain injuries, spinal trauma and other life-changing conditions form a core part of Monica’s caseload. Monica recognises the importance of recovery as well as compensation and places particular emphasis on securing early rehabilitation and interim payments wherever possible to support her clients throughout the claims process. She has substantial experience in cases involving disputed liability, multiple Defendants and complex medico-legal expert evidence.
Psychiatric Injury
Monica has developed a depth of experience in psychiatric injuries, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), phobias, depressive and anxiety disorders as well as cases arising from occupational stress, workplace bullying and sustained pressure leading to psychological breakdown. These cases require careful management of medical and factual evidence. Foreseeability and causation are often in dispute and Monica prepares these matters to withstand close scrutiny. She acts for clients where psychiatric damage is the primary injury and where psychological harm sits alongside physical injuries.
CICA Claims
Monica advises clients pursuing compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) following violent crime. She has experience acting in cases involving physical injury, permanent scarring and disfigurement as well as significant psychological harm, guiding clients through the application process, with clear and practical advice.
