Ben acts for individuals who have suffered catastrophic injury as a result of medical negligence. He specialises in birth injuries, adult brain injury, amputation and paraplegia. Ben joined the firm as a trainee in 2008 and is a Partner within the firm’s highly acclaimed medical negligence team. His family background is in medicine and this has provided him with a good grounding in medical knowledge. In the early part of his career, he became renowned regionally for acting on behalf of families at Inquest whose loved ones had died whilst being detained under the Mental Health Act or had taken their own lives whilst trying to access psychiatric services. He became a regular contributor to local media broadcasts on the levels of care being offered by psychiatric services in the local region and was a strong advocate for service improvement. In large part, as a result of his work representing bereaved families, Ben started to gain recognition within his field and was awarded ‘Young Lawyer of the Year’ award at the 2014 LawNet Awards. Ben now represents catastrophically injured clients. He is known for taking on difficult cases and achieving excellent results. A recent example of this was the 100% liability settlement he achieved for a young adult who suffered cerebral palsy and bilateral Erb’s palsy at birth 22 years ago. The case had previously been discontinued by another law firm and the legal aid funding certificate discharged before Ben’s instruction.

    Medical Negligence

    I can only give a very positive review of my experience with Ashtons Legal. From day one, Ben Ward was very informative and kept me updated on any developments with my case. He was very supportive, sympathetic and always very realistic with possible outcomes due to the complexities of my case too. He has a great team around him that are very professional and can be contacted at anytime. They will come back to you with an answer in a very timely fashion. Very much recommended.

    Personal injury claim

    Everyone I had exchanges with at Ashtons Legal were great. I was always kept up to date on the progression of my claim and if there were periods where nothing was happening Ben Ward always checked in. Any questions or queries I had were responded to and nothing was too much trouble. Ben offered fantastic advice and would take the time to go through things with me putting the information in to a manner I could understand. On the whole a professional service with the whole team chipping in which is much appreciated. Thank you and an extra thank you to Ben.

    Excellent Service from Ashtons

    We couldn't have asked for better service. Ben & Alice were always on hand to answer any questions and guided us well through the minefield of the legal claims process. Thanks to their advice our outcome was much better than we had expected when we started the claim
