Meet the team

Darren Hughes

Becoming a personal injury lawyer was my natural progression as I have an SCI myself. I had a diving accident in 1991 in which I broke my neck.

This means when I go to see a newly injured client, I’ve got a full understanding of what they’re going through and as I understand exactly what they’re going through, both physically and mentally, I don’t just visit them as their lawyer, but can also offer emotional and practical support and advice.

There are so many questions which need answering, from ‘when will I go home?’ and ‘how will this affect my relationship with my partner?’ to something as simple as ’will I be able to drive my car again?’.

In many cases, the answers are simple, but they just don’t know who to ask. By having somebody like me, who’s been through what they’re going through, I can go through everything as well as explaining what’s involved in rehabilitation. This can often help ease the pain of not knowing what the future holds and give them a bit more certainty.”
