Katie Williams

Personal injury specialist Katie has been practicing for more than two decades and works between Thompsons Solicitors' Liverpool and Manchester offices.

Covering cases across the North West, Cumbria and Wales, Katie is a personal injury team supervisor and utilises her experience dealing with serious injury claims to handle a mix of high-value and complex, multi-track personal injury cases.

Katie's cases are predominantly for accidents at work and road traffic accidents, as well as claims for public liability, stress and assault.

These claims involve a range of injuries including traumatic brain injuries, amputations, psychiatric trauma and multiple orthopaedic injuries.

Katie's focus is to pursue claims robustly and tenaciously to ensure the best outcome for clients with maximum recovery of damages, whilst also providing them with a calm, common sense approach.

In addition, Katie prides herself on supporting clients throughout their claims and ensuring their immediate needs are met.

Katie, who does not shy away from difficult cases, likes working at Thompsons because the firm allows her to run difficult cases that other firms would not take on.

Katie's case experience

• Secured a settlement of £700,000 for a client who suffered serious crush injuries to his feet and psychological trauma when he was run over by a fork lift truck at work.

• Won £325,000 for a client who suffered psychological trauma when she was confronted by a patient whilst working alone in her office at work, and was unable to continue her job.

Testimonials

I was very grateful for your service and would recommend you to anybody that is in the same position as I was. The service I received was excellent and I thank you very much and thank god for people like you.

Katie's former client

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for all your work in bringing my litigation to a close. I was shell shocked at the conclusion on the day and the full implications didn't sink in. I am now beginning to realise that the settlement is going to afford myself and my wife the opportunity to plan for the future and just have some fun.

Katie's former client

Katie Williams is the standout with an exceptional eye for detail. She is practical when it comes to settlement negotiations, a real team player who gets the best out of everyone - experts, her clients, counsel and opponents. She has a genuine empathy for not only the significant injuries that her clients have suffered, but also for the stresses that the litigation process puts on them.
