Meet Claire Roantree, partner in the personal injury team. Learn more about what motivates her to do the job she does.

Claire works closely with the defendant insurers, using the Rehabilitation Code and securing interim payments to provide her injured clients with the treatment, care, facilities and support that they need to get their rehabilitation underway straight away, without losing valuable recovery time whilst waiting for final settlement at the conclusion of the claim. Working with experts in a variety of medical and therapeutic disciplines, professional case managers and carers, the client’s immediate needs are prioritised – recovery and rehabilitation – whilst the claim is quantified to make maximum provision for their future needs for ongoing care, support and financial security.

Claire is a co-founder and director of the Major Trauma Group, a collaboration of leading law firms and clinicians who have pooled their knowledge and expertise to assist major trauma victims and their families through provision of a wide range of legal advice and access to the very best rehabilitation services to assist major trauma clients to achieve the best outcome on their rehabilitation and recovery journey, as well as ensuring their financial security in the future.

Claire enjoys developing and sharing her expertise by organising training events and giving talks to multi-disciplinary neuro-rehabilitation teams and local trauma network teams about the importance of rehabilitation in the litigation process. A keen charity supporter and fundraiser she has used her love of running and walking to fundraise for The Children's Trust, Headway SW London for whom she was a trustee for six years and the Child Brain Injury Trust. She is a trustee for Cycle Smart Foundation and supports the charity’s campaign to raise cycling safety awareness and reduce road traffic accidents, particularly amongst children.

Claire is a member of the Law Society's Personal Injury Panel, APIL (Brain Injury Specialist Interest Group), and Headway. She  is an APIL accredited Senior Litigator and Brain Injury Specialist.

Claire’s accreditations

"I don't think I've felt this happy in ages"
Thank you again for everything, I am so happy that I can finally look towards the future and start drawing a line under the accident and putting it in the past where it belongs...I don't think I've felt this happy in ages, it's like a massive weight has been lifted from my shoulders just knowing that it's all done. You have honestly made the last two years worth all the tests. I know I've not always been the most patient person and had my tantrums, but working with you has been so lovely and you have always been there for me along with my dad. You've always taken the time to explain things to me and guide me in the right direction and that I am so grateful for. I am so very thankful and grateful for everything you have done for me.
"Very good service"
Very good service. Queries were dealt with promptly and any confusing aspects were fully explained in everyday English. 
"Professionalism and continued reassurance"
I would like to thank you for your support and assistance during the last 18 months. Your professionalism and continued reassurance has helped us immensely. 
"Great support throughout a very emotional and difficult period"
Claire was very much the lynchpin in achieving settlement of a complex case. From the outset Claire ensured steps were taken to manage both rehabilitation and legal/case requirements in the correct sequence; this included the early appointment of a case manager. In addition Claire has been a great support throughout a very emotional and difficult period in our lives.
