A LUDLOW legal firm has appointed a specialist lawyer to lead its newly launched medical negligence and personal injury team.

Michelle Hartshorn has joined law firm mfg Solicitors as an associate after a successful 20-year career handling a variety of clinical negligence and personal injury cases.

“There are thousands of people across the region who have suffered from medical negligence or a personal injury which was not their fault,” said Michelle Hartshorn.

“The new team has been launched to help them understand what options are available, to give first-rate professional advice on their situation and, ultimately, ensure those who have been affected are given the compensation they deserve.”

Harjie Singh Bindra, a partner and head of mfg’s litigation division believes that there will be growth in this legal work.

Michelle Hartshorn is an accredited member of The Law Society’s personal injury expert panel and a senior litigator with the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.
