William is a Senior Associate working in the personal injury department in Leigh Day’s Manchester office. William studied Law at Durham University before completing his LPC at the College of Law.

• Settlement of a claim involving a serious crush injury to the right arm for in excess of £2.3m
• Settlement of a subtle brain injury case involving a doctor for over £1m
• Settlement of a poly-trauma case involving a cyclist for in excess of £1m
• Settlement of a fatal road traffic incident claim for £2m

What William's client's say: 

“William and Joseph handled my claim with the utmost care, compassion and understanding. They were patient and always quick to respond to any queries I made. They were the best team I could ask for.”

“I can honestly say that Leigh Day have been there for me all the way through this accident and recovery. Will, as part of the team from Leigh Day has worked above and beyond to accommodate my every need during this claim. I can’t thank the team enough of Leigh Day and I would like to thank them for their professionalism and response to this matter.”

“If you are in the unfortunate situation of requiring a law firm to claim damages on your behalf, I can highly recommend Leigh Day to support your case……. I would like to thank William Broadbent and his team for their support and ultimately providing a successful result which will continue to aid my long term recovery and any further procedures needed.”

Outside of work, William spends most of his time with his two young children and two dogs. When he has a free moment, he spends his time out on his road bike or following the trials and tribulations of Huddersfield Town.
