About Fran's role
I am a solicitor partner in the Irwin Mitchell Newcastle office. I specialise in helping people who have sustained serious and life changing injuries by claiming compensation for them. I particularly assist individuals who have suffered brain and spinal cord injuries and multiple orthopaedic injuries. My clients have often sustained injuries in road traffic accidents or accidents at work. It is essential that I do all I can to relieve clients of the burdens that follow serious injury and to ensure that clients are fully supported and in safe hands.
