Personal injury law firm Donns has moved to improve its personal injury services by appointing Bob Dawson as the head of its employer's liability and public liability claims handling department.

Dawson, 30, joins Donns from Gallagher Bassett, where he specialised in handling EL and PL claims on behalf of local and police authorities.

Donns senior partner Raymond Donn said the EL and PL sectors were new areas of business for the company.

"We have an ambitious plan to grow this area of business and I am confident that with someone of Bob's experience at the helm, we will succeed," he said.
