Some sailors come home from the sea badly scarred by their adventures. Like the submariner whose case for damages was won by Juliette Clarke. He was on his watch in a submarine compartment that was accidentally flooded. He almost drowned, and the narrow escape left him with post-traumatic stress disorder.

And a 31 yr old Royal Marine reserve who fell during a rope manoeuvre which left him a ventilator dependent tetraplegic. He received a record breaking payout thanks to Juliette's work. In order to get him immediate help she arranged for a £790,000 interim payment which enabled him to find suitable alternative accommodation so that he could get out of hospital. He received £7.3million in total which was at the time the highest ever compensation award for a spinal cord injured person.

Juliette also secured damages for a lieutenant whose service career was ended by back injuries that she incurred in a fall aboard an aircraft carrier at sea.

And danger lurks for weekend sailors as well as Royal Navy personnel. Juliette, one of Bond Pearce's personal injury specialists, has unearthed a potential danger in moorings at marinas around British coastal waters used by yachts and motor boats.

On land, Juliette is equally painstaking. She exposed contradictions in the police account of a road accident in a remote country lane. And she won a settlement for a taster employed at a bakery who was made ill by the cream in an apple turnover.

The outdoors attracts Juliette when she isn't working, enjoying sailing, walking and cycling with her two daughters.
