Sam is the head of Digby Brown’s Inverness office and deals with a variety of accident claims including road traffic accidents, accidents at work and general cases arising from negligence.

He is also a Notary Public, and a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).

When Sam isn’t at work his hobbies include sailing, skiing, cycling, motorcycling, climbing and hillwalking. He is on Digby Brown’s specialist motorcycle accident and cycle accident teams. Sam credits his involvement in both of these pastimes as being of great assistance in his understanding of the unique issues which can sometimes affect cases involving motorcycle and bicycle accidents.
