Richard Malloy

Home / Our Team /  Richard Malloy Richard Malloy Head of Clinical Negligence Contact info E : rmalloy@gadlegal.co.uk T : 0151 733 3353 Liverpool, Penny Lane View Profile Richard joined the firm in 2007 and is a highly experienced solicitor with close to 20 years’experience representing victims of medical negligence. Over the course of his career, he hasrecovered tens of millions of pounds in compensation for clients whose lives have beendevastated by failings in medical care. Richard is regularly instructed in catastrophic injury claims, acting for children who have suffered severe injuries at or around birth resulting in profound disabilities and complex, lifelong care needs. He also represents adults who have sustained serious injuries due to surgical errors, hospital delays, and failures to correctly interpret or act upon medical results and scans—often leaving them unable to work and requiring lifelong support. He has successfully concluded hundreds of claims against NHS and private hospitals, as well as General Practitioners, dentists, and opticians. Richard understands that clients are often seeking more than compensation. Many want clear answers about what went wrong, accountability where appropriate, and reassurance about what the future holds following life-changing injuries. He is known for his compassionate approach and his determination to secure the best possible outcomes for his clients and their families. In catastrophic injury cases, Richard works closely with a multidisciplinary team of experts, including occupational therapists, physiotherapists, assistive technology specialists, case managers, architects, and specialist support workers. This enables him to put in place—at the earliest opportunity—comprehensive care, therapy, and accommodation packages. These arrangements are vital not only for injured clients, but also for their families, who have often assumed the role of full-time carers. For new enquiries please contact Richard on 0151 522 5781.

Practice Areas Personal injury Memberships Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) Law Society Significant Cases Ian has conducted a large variety of Personal Injury cases since 2001, from straight forward trips and slips to complicated and high value accidents at work. One of his clients was injured at work whilst lifting a heavy cage using an electronic hoist. As the cage reached the top of a shaft, the client was required to lean over to pull the cage in. As he did so, one of the hooks gave way under the weight of the cage and the client was pulled away from the platform, although he managed to keep his feet on it. As the cage swung out he suffered an injury to his shoulder. Although he managed to let go of the cage and regain his balance without falling, he also suffered from shock. The client thought his employer was to blame for his accident because they failed to provide suitable work equipment or a safe system of work. He instructed Ian to help him make a claim for damages. Ian was able to negotiate a settlement before the case went to trial and the client received £25,000 in damages. This amount was for pain and suffering, including psychological problems caused by the accident. It also included financial losses, including his loss of earnings and the costs of medical care.
