Fletchers Solicitors’ Parbeen Alamgir achieves APIL Clinical Negligence specialist accreditation

Fletchers Solicitors is proud to announce that Parbeen Alamgir, a Senior Birth Injury Solicitor based in the firm’s Leeds office, has been recognised as a Clinical Negligence specialist by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).

This commendable accreditation is reserved for solicitors who have proven their outstanding skill, experience and unwavering commitment to the highest standard of client care and legal practice within personal injury and clinical negligence law.

Among her most recent achievements, Parbeen and the Birth Injury team at Fletchers helped secure a landmark settlement for a little boy who was left needing around-the-clock care after a life-changing birth injury. The client was awarded a £5 million interim payment, while the estimated value of the claim is in excess of £20 million.

The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) is a not-for-profit organisation established in 1990 to champion the rights of injured people. With thousands of members across the UK, APIL promotes excellence in legal representation for victims of negligence, provides specialist training and accreditation for lawyers, and campaigns to ensure access to justice for those who have suffered injury.

APIL’s accreditation scheme is a mark of professional competence and expertise, recognised throughout the legal industry.

Trevor Ward, Partner & Head of Birth Injury at Fletchers Solicitors said: “Parbeen’s accreditation is well-deserved and is testament to her determination to go above and beyond for every family or individual who instructs us. This prestigious recognition also stands to show Fletchers’ commitment to nurturing our solicitors’ professional development, and to ensure the best possible service for our clients.”

Parbeen said: “I am delighted to have been recognised by APIL as a specialist in my field of law. It is a privilege to hold this accreditation while continuing to represent clients who are often facing one of the hardest experiences in their lives. I’m proud to be a part of such an incredible team at Fletchers, which works tirelessly to secure the best result for every person affected by clinical negligence.”

APIL chief executive Mike Benner said: “Being injured through negligence is never planned for and many victims feel vulnerable and uncertain about the future. The APIL accreditation logo lets injured people and their families know that they are in the very safest hands and that their lawyers are dedicated to getting their lives back on track.

“APIL members who are awarded accredited status must demonstrate expertise and experience and be up-to-date with the latest legal training and developments in the law.

“As an organisation we are committed to driving excellence in the personal injury sector and fighting for prompt and fair redress for victims of negligence. APIL has been doing this for over thirty years and is the trusted voice of injured people. Negligence can happen to anyone, so it worth remembering that an APIL accreditation logo is the one to look for if you are ever injured and believe it could and should have been prevented.”
