After a life-changing road traffic accident, Ross’s claim was initially handled by another firm - but it was significantly undervalued, with an offer far below what it should have been.

When the case came to Enable Law, senior associate James Wood took it on and quickly identified its true potential. With specialist medical evidence and a clear, strategic approach, the case was rebuilt to reflect the full, long-term impact of Ross’s injuries.

Yesterday Enable Law had the pleasure to be part of the Amputee Lunch & Learn event alongside Plymouth Neuro Physio, Unique Mobility and the Limbless Association.

The session brought together an incredible group of people, all committed to supporting individuals living with limb loss through shared learning, collaboration and community. There were insightful and honest discussions around the importance of engagement with physiotherapy throughout rehabilitation, as well as the challenges individuals may face along the way.

Thank you to our own colleagues, Morgan Lister and Charlotte Morgan, for their contributions as speakers.

Events like this are a powerful reminder of the value of connection, ensuring that no one navigating limb loss feels they have to do so alone.

The parents of five‑year‑old Amber Milnes, who tragically died following routine surgery, have praised Enable Law for helping ensure vital lessons were learned from their loss.

Enable Law partner Mike Bird supported them through the inquest, helped uncover what went wrong in Amber’s care, and ensured their questions were answered, while also raising awareness of cyclical vomiting syndrome (CVS) to help protect other children in the future.
