Expertise
Chandani specialises exclusively in catastrophic injury litigation, with particular expertise in:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Cases involving clients lacking capacity
- Court of Protection‑linked matters
- Claims valued in excess of £1 million, including those surpassing £10 million
- Complex liability disputes
- Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) claims
Some notable cases Chandani has worked on in her career include:

- Assisting in a complex case involving a young motorcyclist with both a TBI and spinal injuries, where liability was heavily contested due to high‑speed overtaking. The claim was resolved on a 47.5% basis in the client’s favour, resulting in a seven‑figure settlement.
- Working extensively on high‑value catastrophic injury claims ranging from £1 million to over £10 million.
- Running a specialised CICA caseload, including representing a 16‑year‑old who lost vision in one eye following an acid attack. Chandani challenged multiple provisional awards, ultimately securing the highest award available for his injury bracket.
Commitment Beyond The Case
Chandani’s dedication to supporting individuals with brain injuries extends beyond her legal role. She serves as a Trustee at Headway South Manchester and Stockport, where she contributes to the charity’s mission of improving life after brain injury.
Her work with Headway reflects her broader commitment: ensuring injured individuals and their families have access not only to legal support, but also to community, rehabilitation, and long‑term guidance.
