Gemma Parker, Solicitor

“I believe that it is important to give innocent victims a voice against powerful organisations such as NHS trusts and large businesses. My clients have been injured through no fault of their own and often subsequently face severe financial and physical hardship. I believe it is important to guide them through the complex and sometimes difficult areas of law in a way which is as stress free and easy as possible.

“It is not always feasible to return a client’s life to the way it was before they suffered negligence, but I think that by getting them the right compensation I am able to put them into the best position to move forward with their life.”  

Gemma Parker qualified as a solicitor in October 2009 after training at Coffin Mew, having demonstrated excellent client service and legal abilities well beyond her experience. Gemma acts for clients in both personal injury and clinical negligence claims, representing varied levels of injuries from soft tissue and minor fractures to brain injury.  Her attention to detail is a great advantage to the team as well as her ability to understand the rigors of complex litigation.

She handles a variety of different matters including road traffic accidents, accidents at work, medical misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, mistreatment, cerebral palsy caused by birth injury and death caused by medical negligence. 

Areas where Gemma has successfully recovered compensation include:

  • orthopaedic injuries
  • loss of sight
  • psychiatric injuries
  • failure to diagnose serious conditions such as cancer
  • brain injuries. 

Gemma prides herself on her attention to detail and her ability to research complex injuries and medical procedures in her clinical negligence practice. She also strives to deliver excellent client service and is a dedicated hardworking member of her team.

In her spare time she is a keen supporter of her local rugby club. She also enjoys going to the theatre, reading and dancing.
