Darren is a solicitor with over 20 years experience in complex and high value personal injury and medical negligence claims. He only acts on behalf of injured people, those that represent them (for example, parents in the case of children and ‘Litigation Friends’ in cases where the injured person does not have the mental capacity to understand the litigation process) and their families in instances where the accident or medical mistake has resulted in death. 

In his past, Darren was previously a member of the AvMA (Action against Medical Accidents) and a member of the Specialist Clinical Negligence Panel (a nationally recognised accreditation of quality and experience). Now, he is proud to lead a highly talented and successful team at Fletchers, dealing with serious injury clinical negligence cases.   

Darren has expertise in all forms of medical negligence and accident claims including cerebral palsy and other birth injuries, foetal abnormality cases, brain injuries, high value orthopaedics, neurological injuries such as spinal injuries, delays in diagnosis of carcinoma, plastic surgery and psychiatric management.
