Keith Barrett

As a seasoned Serious Injury practitioner, I have represented many victims of road traffic collisions, cycling collisions, accidents at work and in public places and aviation disasters (civil and military) for more than 28 years. I also specialise in representing amputees, ensuring they receive the expert rehabilitation and support they need.

Over the years, I have built a strong general aviation practice representing people who suffered injury while acting as a pilot under instruction, as well as the families of individuals fatally injured in domestic and international air crashes.

I regularly take over cases from other solicitors and have been instructed by the Official Solicitor on several high-value claims over the years.

I regularly support families at Inquests. 

I am a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).

Ongoing cases: 

• I currently represent families who lost relatives in the Air India crash in June 2025.
• I currently represent the family of a victim of the London Southend Air Crash in July 2025
• I represented those injured in the Southampton RIB collision, including the family of Emily Lewis.
