David Short

My 35 years plus representing clients injured through no fault of their own has taught me to understand the emotional and financial difficulties they face. 

My role is to fight hard for every client and improve their standards of life both physical and financial. 

From the first meeting I attempt to explain the strengths and weaknesses of each client’s case and map out the likely legal journey ahead of them.

I represent clients often in straightforward and complex injury cases many with a foreign element. 

I have a particular specialisation in aviation related accidents and have represented clients in 22 aircrash cases involving airliners, military aircraft and helicopters. 

I recently have been appointed as Chair of the Pan European Association of Personal Injury Lawyers Aviation Group. 

Recent aviation cases were the Shoreham Air Show incident, Clutha Helicopter Accident Inquiry and the MH17 Malaysian Aircraft shot down over the Ukraine. 

The best thing about my job is knowing I have fought hard for every client to make the stress of the legal journey as easy as possible. 

When I am not at work you will find me digging holes in my garden or walking my two Spaniel dogs.
