Ingrid represents claimants seeking legal redress against professionals who have let them down and caused them to suffer financial loss.
Ingrid has worked in both private practice and inhouse as part of a government department and has gained considerable experience pursuing a wide range of negligence claims. Ingrid is able to draw on this vast experience in her current role in order to obtain the best possible outcomes for her clients. Ingrid is keen to explore mediation or ADR, where possible, to resolve claims which can be an effective alternative to litigation.
Ingrid is approachable and empathises with others. These qualities ensure that Ingrid strives to fully understand her clients’ concerns and find the best possible solutions. Ingrid also has great attention to detail and an ability to analyse complex information which is essential in finding the right outcome.
Ingrid is passionate about helping her clients achieve justice and recover compensation that will have a tangible impact on their lives and finds it satisfying when she is able to achieve positive outcomes for clients who have faced challenging situations.
In a recent case Ingrid represented a claimant who sustained injuries in an accident and subsequently brought a professional negligence claim against his former solicitors. A crucial deadline had been missed, resulting in the claim being struck out and the client losing the opportunity to recover compensation. Although the solicitors’ representatives accepted fault, they attempted to minimise the seriousness of the claimant’s injuries and reduce the compensation payable. Ingrid pursued the claim robustly, securing supportive medical evidence and substantiating the claimant’s financial losses. The matter was successfully resolved at mediation, with the claimant recovering compensation exceeding £200,000.
Outside of work Ingrid enjoys travelling, especially to France, which enables her to practice her language skills. Ingrid also enjoys visiting art exhibitions, watching international films and dramas, and going to films festivals.
