Russell Sutton is the senior and managing partner of the firm. After graduating from Newcastle University with a degree in law in 1996, he trained at one of Manchester’s leading personal injury firms, before joining TJL Solicitors soon after its inception in 2000.

He has a particular expertise in claims arising out of accidents which have resulted in amputations.
Russell and his team are adept at ensuring that the appropriate care and rehabilitation package is arranged for his clients at the earliest opportunity, by ensuring the appropriate interim payments are obtained.
Russell also regularly acts for people who have received negligent dental treatment and has dealt with a whole range of cases, including negligent dental implant treatment, failure to advise on and refer for periodontal disease and failed root canal cases.

“I wish to take this opportunity to thank TJL Solicitors for all their excellent hard work…I received a second to none service at all times.”
“I found the quality and level of support offered by both you and TJL team is to the highest standard. I am more than satisfied with the results.”
“TJL Solicitors were very helpful and guided me through the process of my claim very professionally. I was very impressed with the level of expertise.”
Most personal injury claims follow a similar process, whether you were hurt at work, in a road traffic accident, while cycling, or in a public place. But no two claims are exactly the same.
A personal injury claim can arise when someone else’s negligence causes your injury. This could be a careless driver, an employer, or a business that failed to fix a dangerous condition. But whether you have grounds to make a claim depends on how the accident happened and who is responsible. Not every accident necessarily leads to a valid personal injury claim.
Poor dental care can leave you in pain, facing further treatment, and with substantial unexpected costs. If that’s happened to you, you may have the right to make a dental negligence claim.
Your dentist was supposed to fix a problem. Instead, you’re dealing with the consequences of dental treatment that left you worse off, like suffering constant pain or needing further procedures. You want to know: do I have a dental negligence claim?
