Overview
I am a Partner and Head of the Dispute Resolution Department at Bennett Griffin, specialising in Personal Injury.
With over 15 years’ experience helping those affected by serious injury to recover rehabilitation and fair compensation, I am proud to lead a team that has been ranked Band 2 in the Chambers UK Legal Guide 2026 and commended once again by The Legal 500 for its expertise in complex personal injury cases. I have also been individually ranked Band 3 (Personal Injury: Mainly Claimant) in Chambers UK 2026, recognising my work on behalf of clients who have suffered life-changing injuries.
Being a keen cyclist, I have a particular interest in cycling accidents and regularly act for those who have suffered life-changing injuries, often as a result of head or spinal injuries. I also act for Claimants who have suffered as a result of medical negligence.
I joined Bennett Griffin in November 2018, having spent 14 years with two top 100 firms on the South Coast.
In developing a strong working relationship with my clients, I am able to understand their initial needs, both physical and financial, and work collaboratively with the Defendant to minimise those as much as possible. I fight hard to get the correct level of compensation for each of my clients.

“Tim represented me when I suffered life-changing spinal injuries in a road traffic accident. The case was long and complicated, with several expert opinions needed on how my injuries would affect my future life.
Tim handled the management of the many different parts of my case, explaining my options at each stage and ensuring I understood what the technical language meant. Tim’s strategy took account of my personal circumstances and countered other party’s attempts to deter us. He has always been available to talk through my concerns and answer any questions.
Through Tim’s tireless efforts, I have obtained a settlement that exceeded my initial expectations and is a large multiple of the sum I was originally offered prior to his involvement. While the money won’t bring back my mobility, the compensation means I can face my future with confidence.”Client Feedback | Tim Ransley | Dispute Resolution

for her to receive your email yesterday, and to read that there might be an end in sight to the whole situation, is a good thing, hopefully we can move on from the daily worry of it all. … I can only but thank you for everything you have done for her, from our first meeting on zoom, you have put her at ease and been a rock, from going from the Minster law shambles to you and your company has been such a contrast, i can only thank you.
