Personal Injury

Grace Holden regularly appears in the County Court, representing both claimants and defendants in a range of personal injury matters. She has been noted by Circuit Judges for ‘cross-examining skilfully and submitting persuasively’ and putting ‘careful and considerate questions’.

Her work includes:

  • Trials in road traffic accident, occupier’s liability and employer’s liability cases.
    CCMCs for a range of multi-track cases.
  • Interim applications; including strike-out, summary judgment and relief from sanctions.
  • Drafting pleadings for both claimants and defendants.
  • Advising on liability and quantum.
  • Appearing on behalf of interested parties in Coroner’s Inquests.
  • Undertaking work as part of public inquiries.

She has recently:

  • Represented a claimant in an assault at work case, achieving settlement by JSM for a sum worth in excess of £150,000.
  • Represented a claimant in a noise-induced hearing loss claim.
  • Drafted pleadings for a claimant in a public liability claim involving complex physical and psychological injuries.

Grace also has significant experience of handling fundamental dishonesty cases, representing both claimants and defendants. She has:

  • Achieved the withdrawal of claims on multiple occasions after her cross-examination of the claimant.
  • Achieved a finding of fundamental dishonesty against three claimants, held to be jointly liable for costs.
  • Negotiated the withdrawal of claims at the outset of the hearing on favourable terms.
