The Personal Injury Awards, brought to you by Claims Media and in association with Blume, are proud to announce the deserving winners of the 2023 ceremony.
This year’s ceremony was a night to remember, with the talented Paul Sinha hosting and a record number of outstanding entries.
The event took place on 23 November 2023 at the Hilton Deansgate in Manchester and was a wonderful celebration of Yorkshire’s incredible personal injury sector.
Mike Benner, chair of the judging panel and chief executive of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, commented;
“The quality and number of submissions was very high and it was, for me, an inspiring and enlightening experience to read – or in some cases watch – the entries. ‘Inspiring’, because it reinforced my almost daily experiences of the exceptional dedication, capability and commitment which defines a great personal injury lawyer and others who have chosen to work in the sector and ‘enlightening’, because I learnt so much from the stories arising from the submissions.
Experiencing an injury – becoming a victim of negligence – can be life changing for many, but is certainly difficult and stressful for all and therefore our sector has a duty to ease the process and do what we can to rebuild lives shattered through negligence. I see these awards as a celebration of that.”
