Medical Negligence
Wallis Crockford
Senior Associate
I support clients in obtaining compensation to help achieve a better quality of life following a serious injury and I advocate for patient safety.
Get to know Wallis
I have specialised in acting for medical negligence claimants since 2014.
Since 2020 I have been a Team Leader in our Cardiff office.
I have acted for clients who have sustained a wide range of injuries including brain injury, orthopaedic injury, birth injury, cancer, haemochromatosis, vascular surgery, dental injury and injury resulting from “Never Events”.
Career highlights
Each case means so much to each individual and it is a privilege for me to be able to help anyone who has suffered an injury as a result of negligence to be able to access justice, obtain the compensation that they are entitled to and hopefully find closure following such a traumatic time in their lives.

I was a top 3 finalist for the PIC Magazine/AvMA Award for the Clinical Negligence Rising Star in 2019. I am recognised in the Legal 500 as a Key Lawyer, and the edition states, “The outstanding Wallis Crockford handles the most complex cases with supreme skill and ability.”
The extra mile
During my career I have been involved in many charities including Headway South West London, the Encephalitis Society, the Child Brain Injury Trust, and the Haemochromatosis Society.
I have attended the “Women in Leadership in Law” round table meetings to drive positive change.

I'd like to give my sincere appreciation to Wallis Crockford for the way she has supported me and my Family throughout our Medical Negligence Claim. Throughout the process Wallis has been proactive, determined, clear in her advice and very empathetic to our situation. She has always set realistic expectations and has done exactly what she said she would. I'm so happy that our claim settled successfully, but I will miss my interactions with Wallis!
