Fletchers Solicitors’ Anna Ginty achieves APIL Senior Litigator accreditation

Fletchers Solicitors is proud to announce that Anna Ginty, a Serious Injury Solicitor based in the firm’s Manchester office, has achieved Senior Litigator status with the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).

This prestigious accreditation is reserved for solicitors who have proven their expert ability in handling high-value and complex cases with both sensitivity and skill. It is a mark of unwavering commitment to the highest standards of client care and legal practice within personal injury law.

Among her most recent achievements, Anna and the Serious Injury Law team at Fletchers have helped secure a £8.23million settlement for a cyclist who was left with a life changing spinal injury after his bike was rear-ended by a HGV.

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.

Michelle Heyes, Partner and Director of Serious Injury Law at Fletchers Solicitors said: “Anna’s accreditation is testament to her determination to go above and beyond for every family or individual who instructs us. Her well-earned achievement also stands to show Fletchers’ commitment to nurturing our solicitors’ professional development, and to ensure the best possible service for our clients.”

Anna said: “I’m really pleased to have been recognised by APIL and reached Senior Litigator status in my field of law. It is a privilege to hold this accreditation while representing clients who are often facing one of the toughest experiences in their lives. I’m extremely proud to be a part of the team at Fletchers, which works tirelessly to secure the best result for every person affected by serious injuries.”

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.”
