Osbornes Law are delighted to announce that Ben Posford has been named as ‘Catastrophic Injury Lawyer of the Year’ at The Personal Injury Awards 2021.
The awards, which took place on Tuesday 23rd November 2021 brought together hundreds of personal injury lawyers and other professionals to recognise the important work being done in this sector on behalf of often extremely vulnerable clients.
The judging panel said of Ben:
“The Catastrophic Injury Lawyer of the Year expertly undertakes a large breadth of cases, including some with a very high profile, and possesses a deep knowledge of quantum issues that the judges find impressive. They also come highly recommended and praised.”
As lead solicitor for most of the families of the Croydon tram crash, Ben was a constant figure at the recent inquest into the crash and continues to support the families as they campaign for safety changes to the tram network.
Ben is head of the catastrophic injury at Osbornes Law and has particular expertise in severe brain injury & spinal cord injury claims and is also a leading fatal accident practitioner. He is also known for his niche practice involving cauda equina syndrome claims and is one of only a few lawyers listed in band one of Chambers UK for his personal injury practice in London.
Ben is an accredited Fellow of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) and is also an advanced APIL accredited specialist in both Brain Injuries and Fatalities.

Everyone was lovely, Emily put herself out for me. Also reception ladies are very friendly.
"Mark frequently takes on high-value financial and children proceedings that involve complex tax, trust and accounting issues. He is also experienced in FDR proceedings and international relocation cases."
The team provides fantastic strength-in-depth for personal injury claims. It is also particularly well placed to service clients from Eastern Europe with specialist native language speakers. From the smallest case to a multimillion-pound spinal injury case, Osbornes has the right staff to manage every claim.
I would highly recommend Katie de Swarte. Her attention to the details of my case, combined with her sensitivity and support, to what was an emotionally challenging and complex legal matter, was much appreciated and excellent. I felt she always listened to what I was saying and never rushed me. She was happy to work with me collaboratively where appropriate, as well as guiding my decisions with solid, legal advice at all times.
I will never be able to thank you enough for all the support and kindness you continue to show us. You have helped more that you will ever know and its very much appreciated.
