Ben Ballantyne
I obtained my Undergraduate Degree in Law at the University of Sunderland in 2019 before going on to complete the Legal Practice Course alongside my Masters in Law in 2020.
I joined Watson Woodhouse as a Solicitor in November 2025 having spent the previous four years working for a national Personal Injury firm in Newcastle.
I regularly deal with matters involving complex, contentious legal and factual issues. I am well-versed in managing high value and procedurally difficult cases ranging from fast-track to multi-track claims.
I currently take instructions on standard Personal Injury Claims including:
- Road Traffic Accidents
- Employers Liability Accidents
- Public Liability Accidents; and
- Occupiers Liability Accidents
I also deal with a range of niche cases including Historical Abuse Claims, Inquests, Post-Inquest Claims, Breach of Human Rights and Fatal Accident Act Claims.
I take immense pride in providing assistance to injured Claimants and bereaved families at such a difficult time in their lives.
I am committed to delivering the highest standard of client care, offering a calm and empathetic approach to every case. I appreciate that being injured in an accident can be life altering, no matter the injury, and I am absolutely dedicated to ensuring that Claimants receive the care, provisions and compensation that they deserve.
Recent case examples:
- £65,000 recovered for a client who suffered a tripping accident at work leaving them with significant knee issues.
- £85,000 recovered for a client who suffered a complex thumb injury during an accident at work leaving them with permanently restricted range of movement in the thumb.
- Secured a finding of Neglect against an NHS Trust at an inquest where it was found that staff had failed to respond to emergency alarms resulting in the death of a patient.
Client Testimony:
“Just want to say a massive thank you for making the claim a quick and smooth progress. You have been amazing so thank you.”
- Client who was successful in securing over £37,500 for a public liability accident in which they suffered a significant injury to their thumb.
