Gary is a serious injury specialist with particular interest in acting for Children and Young Adults who have sustained brain injuries. Typically clients can have few physical signs of injury but find themselves becoming easily angered, having memory and concentration problems, difficulties in making effective decisions, a high degree of impulsivity and struggling to interact with family members and friends.Such injuries can at times be easily missed but yet cause profound difficulties for people’s lives. One problem that besets brain injured children is that they are often able to return to close to their previous abilities but struggle to progress further within school. Because of the perceived good initial recovery it can be difficult for the children to access additional support at school and can be upsetting as they struggle to keep pace with their peers.When young adults are injured this can present different challenges. When an injury occurs in early adulthood it can cause difficulties on an already challenging time. Deprived of the structure of school, the choices and challenges facing someone entering the workplace for the first time, or living on their own cannot be underestimated and the process of moving into adult life needs to be carefully planned and supported. Gary also represents clients with claims involving spinal cord injuries, complex orthopaedic injuries and chronic pain conditions.
