In brief: Weightmans noises off over partner's Phd

Weightmans senior litigation partner Tony Prichard has taken his research into personal injury litigation a step further, after being awarded a Doctorate in Philosophy by Liverpool University. He spent four years working nights and weekends to complete his thesis on noise-related deafness in lorry drivers. Lorry driving is one of the more recent areas to attract claims for noise-induced hearing loss. Weightmans, a Liverpool firm, has one of the largest personal injury practices in the country.
