Gerard Sanders
Partner, Head of PI and Clin Neg
Gerard qualified with a large regional firm in 1991. Since 1995 he has specialised exclusively on claimant personal injury work. More recently he has focused on complex higher value clinical negligence and personal injury claims. His greatest success has been winning the high profile case of Delaney-v-The Secretary of State for Transport where after almost 9 years of litigation involving two Court of Appeal hearings and an application to the Supreme Court he was finally able to establish that the Motor Insurers’ Bureau Agreement was incompatible with EEC law. As a direct result of the decision in this case the agreement has had to be amended to the benefit of many future victims of uninsured drivers. Gerard is a member of the Law Society’s Personal Injury Panel and he appears in the latest Legal 500 rankings in the fields of personal injury and clinical negligence. Gerard’s other professional qualifications include a Diplome D’Etudes Juridiques Francaises from Strasbourg University.

I was very pleased with the service provided by Gerard Sanders and his team. When I broke my collarbone in a cycling accident I first contacted one of the national claims handling companies but they were not interested. I then approached Hart Brown and they did an excellent job in getting compensation for me. Gerard Sanders explained the process in very straight forward terms and his advice was extremely sound throughout. I can strongly recommend Hart Brown for this type of accident claim.

Gerard Sanders was very supportive from the start and it was clear that he was very experienced in clinical negligence matters. He gave advice that was realistic and supportive. He was easily contactable and patient as we worked through the process, which seemed daunting at the start. He was supported well by his staff who could also answer any queries about progress. My claim was successful due to Gerard's advice and persistence in achieving the best outcome for me. Highly recommend.

I was very grateful that Hart Brown chose to represent us on our case. Other solicitors would not and gave little explanation as to why. Hart Brown then kept us informed throughout the process with frequent letters and calls. We were very pleased with the final outcome of our case. Many thanks.
