Dr Simon Fox QC - Medically Qualified Barrister

I am based at Serjeants’ Inn Chambers in London

Birmingham - I represent clients from across the country, often travelling to see them in their own homes or at their solicitor’s office.

Bristol - I represent clients from across the country, often travelling to see them in their own homes or at their solicitor’s office.

Manchester - I represent clients from across the country, often travelling to see them in their own homes or at their solicitor’s office.

Leeds - I represent clients from across the country, often travelling to see them in their own homes or at their solicitor’s office.

I am a medically qualified barrister specialising in clinical negligence and personal injury claims with over 25 years experience in these areas.

I act for injured clients, doctors and insurance companies but mostly injured patients and spend a lot of my time travelling around the country meeting them in their homes, solicitors’ offices and my own office in London at Serjeants’ Inn Chambers.

Within clinical negligence, I specialise in cases with difficult and complicated issues in proving negligence where my medical background enables me to better understand the complicated medical issues involved, get the most from the experts, present the client’s case at its best and cross-examine effectively.

As a QC (silk) I am generally instructed in cases exceeding £1 million in damages and recently concluded a birth injury claim in a lump sum equivalent value of £25 million – believed to be one of the highest ever clinical negligence awards made in the UK at the time.

I am also instructed in high value personal injury claims in which complicated issues of medical evidence arise.

In addition to my work as a QC, I also spend about two days per month as an Assistant Coroner hearing cases in the Coroner’s Court in Bristol. In 2017 I was appointed an Assistant Coroner in Dorset to hear the inquest into the death of Richard Westgate, an airline pilot whose family were concerned that he had died from the toxic effects of organophosphates released from commercial aircraft engines.

I am a certified mediator.

I live in Cheltenham and outside work I enjoy hill running. I have competed in 24 hour events up to 100km and have run the 100 mile Cotswold Way over 4 days.
