A clinical negligence Solicitor and Partner, Endurance heads and manages Tozers’ Medical Negligence Team. Working with claimants who have suffered catastrophic and life changing injuries as a result of substandard care by GPs, hospitals and private practitioners. She helps those affected to bring a claim for compensation so they can look forward to a future in which their needs, arising from avoidable injuries will be met.
Through her years of practice, Endurance appreciates that going through the claims process can be challenging for claimants and their families. Consequently, Endurance directs clients and families to support networks during and after the litigation process to help them manage the full impact of their injuries.
Qualifying in 1995, Endurance has been a member of the Law Society’s Clinical Negligence Panel since 1999. She is ranked as a Band 1 practitioner for Clinical Negligence in Chambers & Partners, where it says "She is just delightful. She never gets flustered, prepares her cases beautifully and gets good results.".
Endurance has also been named as a Leading Individual in Clinical Negligence in the Legal 500 directory where she has been praised as "unflappable".
Endurance’s first degree was in Physiology (the physics of how the body works) and she likes to apply this knowledge to understand the physical injuries sustained by her clients. She is knowledgeable across a broad range of cases such as, Erb’s palsy, cerebral palsy, cauda equina and spinal injury, acquired brain injury claims, gynaecology claims and claims arising from infection, such as sepsis, and encephalitis. She advises on a full range of cases but has developed particular expertise in birth claims such as Erb’s palsy and cerebral palsy and in Kerniterus and cauda equina claims.
Working within a team of very skilled and dedicated lawyers, Endurance works to get the best outcome for our clients whilst maintaining principles of decency and humanity. In the course of her work, she is privileged to work with some of the best Counsel and medical experts in the field of medical negligence.
Endurance has secured substantial sums in compensation for many clients but she recognises that money cannot always put the injured person back in the position they could have been in, had the injury not occurred. Endurance therefore also works with charities such as the Erb’s Palsy Group and pressure groups who are striving to improve standards of care for patients and to reduce the number of avoidable injuries within the healthcare system.
In addition to her work with clients, Endurance set up and headed the firm’s CSR committee and programme, from 2010-2022. In that time she led Tozers to assist many local charities through fund raising and activities that raised the charities’ profile.
Away from work Endurance likes to spend time with her family. She is also an avid supporter of the creative arts.
"I am professional but empathetic with my clients, guiding them through the often bewildering process involved in bringing a complex medical negligence claim. Knowing that the same injury will affect a client differently depending on their particular circumstances, I take a wider interest in each client to seek to recover appropriate compensation.”
