Ally Taft brings both physiotherapy and legal skills to her role with Medical Accident Group – she trained as a physiotherapist first and then embarked on her legal training, knowing that she wanted to specialise in clinical negligence from the outset.
Her knowledge of the effects of pain and serious injury have stood her and her clients in good stead, combined with her determination to seek justice for clients who she supports through one of the most difficult times of their lives.
Ally has successfully won life-changing settlements for clients, including multi-million pound birth injury settlements. Passionate about her work and getting justice for those whose lives have been devastated by clinical negligence, she also helps to train less experienced solicitors within the Group to help them to expand their knowledge further.
