Sarah Adams
Associate solicitor
Sarah Adams is an associate solicitor in the personal injury team, specialising in serious injury.
Get to know Sarah
I have over 12 years’ experience in acting on behalf of clients who have sustained life changing serious injuries as a result of accidents across all areas of personal injury. This includes representing those with catastrophic injuries and on behalf of bereaved families.
I am committed to promoting the rehabilitation and treatment needs of my clients to maximise their recovery potential. I advocate a collaborative approach with opponents, whenever possible, to secure access to care, therapies and equipment. I ensure that interim payments are secured to alleviate any financial hardship.
I work closely with barristers and case managers to ensure my clients have the best support and to help to navigate the legal process.
I aim to be approachable, and I appreciate the profound impact that serious injuries can have on clients and their families.
Career highlights
During the course of my career, I have achieved and assisted on numerous complex and high value settlements which have provided for my clients’ rehabilitation and future needs.
Highlights include:
I achieved a settlement of £12.75 million for LH in 2021. LH suffered a severe brain injury age 13 when he was hit by a car on a pedestrian crossing.
CB’s claim for a spinal injury following a road traffic accident settled 2021 for £1.1 million. CB’s previous solicitor had treated her claim as a whiplash injury.
AB suffered a very severe brain injury in an accident at work. Liability was disputed. I secured a significant interim payment for AB’s accommodation and rehabilitation needs prior to his discharge. AB’s claim settled for £4.8 million (£7.2 million on full liability) in 2019.
EF’s claim settled for £690,000 in 2022 following a very tragic bereavement.
Recognition
I am a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).
Area of specialism
My work claim did not seem to be progressing very well until my present solicitor took the case on. Her name is Sarah Adams and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she took over the case she kept me informed every step of the way by phone calls and email and I will be forever grateful to her for getting me a satisfactory outcome to my case.
Very professional. A good service. Sarah Adams was very helpful and guided me through the system.
Thank you Sarah, your true compassion and reasonableness, throughout, really shone through - I hope our paths cross again as it has been a pleasure.
