Jonathan Shields is a Catastrophic Injury Solicitor at Bond Turner, specialising in road traffic accidents, employers’ liability, and public liability claims. With a proven track record, Jonathan has secured substantial damages for clients and provides excellent client care. He is conscientious and tenacious in his pursuit of justice, with an eye for detail and possesses excellent tactical ability.
Most of his experience is in acting for claimants who have suffered serious orthopaedic injuries, traumatic brain injuries and chronic pain conditions.
Jonathan has a keen interest in complex liability arguments involving more than one defendant. He represented the claimant in Smithson v Lynn & North Yorkshire CC [2020] EWHC 2517 (QB).
Jonathan receives direct instructions based on recommendations from previous clients, including from those who have been unhappy with the service provided by their previous solicitor.
His clients say, “Jonathan has been exceptional, he always ensured I received the rehabilitation I needed. His support and guidance have enabled me to build a new life” and “having been dissatisfied with my previous solicitor, I transferred my claim to Jonathan Shields who really went over and above to achieve a successful outcome.”
Jonathan is motivated by the ability to make a significant difference to people’s lives at a time when they need it most so that they can move forward with their lives. Upon being instructed, his immediate focus is on securing a fully funded rehabilitation package and interim payments, to ensure that the claimant can fully focus on their recovery without worrying about finances.
A well-known case manager says, “Jonathan Shields is a rising star solicitor who has demonstrated to me a keen interest in achieving superior outcomes for his clients, whilst managing his claims efficiently and effectively with relevant stakeholders involved.”
Jonathan aims to establish new charity relationships to enhance support for Bond Turner’s seriously injured clients.
