We just want to say whenever we look back and for the rest of our lives, we will always remember your impact on our lives and we know our son is equally grateful for making his voice heard, and rightly getting the justice he deserves. Once again Simon, we are very grateful and we will miss you as you have become a part of our family.”

Partner, Solicitor

Simon joined Wolferstans in 1981 and is an award-winning solicitor in our Medical Negligence team.

Simon brings over 30 years of experience and a compassionate approach to his work as a specialist in brain injury claims. Simon has particular expertise in representing children and young adults with cerebral palsy, striving to get the very best outcomes for his clients. He has achieved many multi-million pound settlements, including one of the largest settlements ever in a personal injury or clinical negligence case, in excess of £33.4 million, and has recovered over £100 million in damages for his clients.

What truly sets Simon apart is his unwavering dedication to his clients. His clients consistently praise him for putting them at ease and expertly guiding them through the legal process. Simon understands the profound impact of these injuries on his clients’ and their families’ lives and is committed to securing the compensation they deserve.

With his profound knowledge of the law, Simon is a dependable and trustworthy solicitor. His credentials speak volumes, as he has received accreditation from several distinguished organisations, such as Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA), the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL), and Headway - the National Brain Injury Association. Simon's outstanding skills as a clinical negligence lawyer have also earned him recognition in the Legal500 and Chambers Guide to the Legal Profession, where he is esteemed as a leading practitioner.

Simon has investigated cases involving conditions such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, arteriovenous malformation, brain abscess, tumours, cardiac arrest resulting in hypoxia/asphyxia, cerebral vasculitis, and more. He has also investigated claims involving falls in hospital, complications arising during and after surgery, attempts by patients to take their own lives, and patients in a Vegetative or Minimally Conscious State.

Cerebral Palsy Claims

He has also investigated cases involving excessive force during forceps delivery, failure to perform a caesarean section, and medication errors.

Simon used to play rugby for Plymouth Albion, but nowadays his sporting exploits are confined to the odd round of golf and the occasional open water swim for charity. He is also a Trustee of Headway Plymouth, a local charity promoting awareness of and helping the victims of acquired brain injury.
