Bolt Burdon Kemp is a national law firm for serious injury compensation claims, founded in 1986. With 135 employees, it focuses on personal injury, medical negligence, military claims, abuse, brain injury and spinal injury.
The military team represented the family of Olivia Perks, an officer cadet at Sandhurst who died by suicide in 2019, at the inquest into her death. The inquest exposed inappropriate sexual relationships between chain of command and trainees. The coroner identified systemic and individual failings in the welfare support that the army provided for the promising young cadet.
In a case in which liability was hotly contested, the child brain injury team secured £19 million in compensation due to a delay in diagnosing that its child client had had a stroke, leaving the client with severe disabilities.
The women’s health team secured more than £2 million in compensation after inadequate postnatal care resulted in extensive physical and psychiatric injury to a new mother, resulting in a devastating impact on her home and working life.
