Rachel Flannigan is a Partner at Express Solicitors where she also serves as head of the Road Traffic Accident Department. She has been with the firm since 2004, and her ascension and long service reflects the firms ongoing commitment to nurturing legal talent.

Prior to joining Express Solicitors, Rachel gained extensive experience of Personal Injury Law working for both claimant and defendant firms. A confident litigator, Rachel is often willing to take on the more difficult, complex RTA cases that other Personal Injury Law firms pass over. This fighting spirit is embodied in her favourite quote from Mark Twain: “Dont go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”

Rachel is experienced in dealing with all manner of RTA cases including bus and coach accidents, cyclist accidents, pedestrian accidents and cases involving uninsured drivers. Recent notable cases include securing £195,000 for a complex case involving a vehicle skidding on ice, £200,000 for a worker who fell into a pothole and £30,000 for a passenger in a vehicle involved in an accident with a bus.

Rachel lives in Atherton with her husband and daughter. A regular at her local cinema, 3D films are proving to be a smash hit with Rachels young daughter. Other big hits with the young tot include Mums baking, something which Rachel indulges in whenever she gets the chance.

As passionate as Rachel is about securing compensation for Road Traffic Accident victims, we all need to unwind and distress from time to time and Rachel does this by propelling her body through the chlorine waters of her local pool and by burying her head in a good book. But not at the same time, obviously.
