Man almost completely paralysed in car crash embarks on new career as a solicitor

When Rob Camm was 19 he was just about to start university in Bristol, but his life changed forever. He was involved in a car crash that nearly killed him, and left him so paralysed he can only shrug his shoulders and turn his head.

He needs a ventilator to breathe and requires round-the-clock care, but being hit with such a huge setback did not stop the man from Berkeley in Gloucestershire. For now, eight years on and now aged 28, Rob has not only graduated from Bristol University but now qualified as a solicitor in the city.

As a teenager, Rob had got into Bristol Uni to study politics and philosophy, and was thinking about going into law, but his life changed forever when he had a car crash just before he was due to start, back in 2014. Despite being paralysed from the neck down, Rob still went to uni and, out of term time, applied to join a vacation scheme at Bristol law firm Osborne Clarke.
