Heather is a Solicitor and Senior Associate in our London office and has exclusively represented claimants who have suffered catastrophic injuries for more than a decade. She joined claimant personal injury practice in 2013, straight after completing her Legal Practice Course with Distinction and has fought for her negligently injured clients ever since. Before joining HCC Solicitors, Heather worked for two other leading Legal 500 firms in London.

Heather is consistently described as passionate, tenacious, proactive and empathic by everyone she works with, including clients, colleagues, barristers and medical experts. She truly listens to clients and tailors her approach to work with peoples individual needs. She goes out of her way to use plain English to explain legal issues, strategy and the claim process and prides herself on her exemplarily levels of client care and utter dedication to obtaining the best possible results for her clients.

In terms of case type, Heather has a particular interest and specialism in road traffic collisions. However, she also deals with a variety of case types including public liability, occupiers liability, employers liability and fatal incident.

In terms of the nature of injuries sustained, Heather has a particular interest and specialism in traumatic brain injury claims. Before joining HCC, Heather exclusively represented traumatic brain injury survivors for six and a half years. However, she now represents claimants with all types of life changing injuries, including brain injury, spinal cord, ploy-trauma, amputation and psychological/psychiatric trauma.

Heather is an accredited Litigator and member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).

In her spare time, Heather is a keen motorcyclist and currently rides a Suzuki GSR600. She also has a French Bulldog called Mötley who rarely leaves her side!

What Heather's clients say

Having been personally recommended Heather Petrie as a possible replacement lawyer in my personal injury claim, an initial appointment was swiftly arranged in which Heather expressed her very honest approach and the best ways in which she could help, which was very refreshing and not a day goes by where I doubt the decision to switch over to Heather at HCC.

Heather and her entire team have always been available and on hand to answer any queries I may have. All points, legal jargon, and varying steps in the case, have always been broken down and explained to become very understandable.

Heather is clearly very passionate for the service she provides for her clients, in really going the extra mile to deliver the greatest outcomes throughout the process. In many areas, she has predicted any upcoming tricky situations in the day to day life of somebody going through rehabilitation and has really shown a deep level of insight and empathy.

I would strongly recommend Heather at HCC in taking on your personal injury claim for her superior knowledge, experience, connections and real abundance of care and compassion. She also has a fun side and is easy to get on with!
