What Is a Serious Injury Claim?

A serious injury claim is made when you suffer life-changing harm as a result of another person’s negligence. These injuries often require long-term care, impact your ability to work, and affect your quality of life.

Road traffic accidents

Accidents at work

Injuries in public places

Medical negligence

Types of Serious Injury Claims We Handle

Brain Injury Claims

Brain injuries can have life-changing effects on memory, speech, and movement. Often caused by accidents or medical negligence, these cases require careful handling to ensure access to specialist treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term support.

Spinal Cord Injury Claims

Spinal cord injuries may lead to partial or total paralysis, deeply affecting daily life. These injuries often result from serious accidents or surgical errors and require extensive medical care, adaptive equipment, and ongoing rehabilitation.

Amputation Claims

Losing a limb through medical negligence or a serious accident can be devastating. With the right legal support, individuals can recover the costs of prosthetics, specialist treatment, and long-term physical and emotional rehabilitation.

Broken Arm Claims

A broken arm can disrupt work and daily activities, sometimes leading to lasting mobility issues. When the injury results from unsafe conditions or another person’s negligence, legal action may help recover treatment and recovery-related losses.

Broken Leg Claims

Leg fractures often require surgery and months of rehabilitation. If the injury occurred through no fault of your own, you have the right to seek redress for medical treatment and the impact on your day-to-day life.

Hip Injury Claims

Hip injuries are painful and can limit movement or independence. They commonly occur in workplace or road accidents, where poor safety or negligence has been a factor. Legal action helps ensure proper treatment and recovery support.

Face Injury Claims

Facial injuries can cause physical pain and emotional distress, often requiring reconstructive or cosmetic treatment. Those affected by negligent accidents or assaults may seek justice for the lasting impact on their well-being and confidence.

Fatal Accident Claims

Losing a loved one because of negligence is deeply traumatic. Families can take legal steps to hold those responsible accountable and secure financial stability for the future, including help with funeral costs and lost income.

Serious Burns Claims

Severe burns can lead to permanent scarring and emotional trauma. These injuries may result from unsafe workplaces, defective products, or poor supervision, requiring extensive treatment and long-term support to aid recovery.

Chronic Pain Claims

Chronic pain can arise after accidents or medical mistakes and may affect every aspect of life. Legal representation ensures that victims can access ongoing treatment, therapy, and the resources needed to manage their condition.

Broken or Fractured Bone Claims

Fractures can vary in severity but often cause significant disruption to work and mobility. When caused by preventable accidents or negligence, legal support helps ensure proper rehabilitation and financial recovery.

Eye Injury Compensation Claims

Eye injuries can impair vision and independence, often caused by workplace incidents, chemicals, or medical errors. Legal guidance can help victims secure medical treatment, vision aids, and the adjustments necessary for daily life.

Multiple Injury Claims

When several serious injuries occur in one accident, recovery can be lengthy and complex. A coordinated legal approach ensures that all aspects of physical, financial, and emotional impact are properly addressed.

Children’s Serious Injury Claims

Serious injuries in children can affect long-term health, education, and development. Legal support helps families secure the resources and care needed to safeguard their child’s future well-being.

Hit and Run Claims

Victims of hit-and-run accidents face unique challenges when the driver cannot be traced. Through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, it’s possible to pursue justice and receive financial and medical support for recovery.

Polytrauma Claims

Polytrauma refers to multiple severe injuries sustained in a single incident, often requiring complex care. These cases demand specialist legal handling to ensure every injury and its long-term effects are properly considered.

Degloving Claims

Degloving injuries are among the most severe, involving extensive skin and tissue loss that often requires reconstructive surgery. Legal assistance helps victims access the treatment, rehabilitation, and support essential for recovery.

FAQs

Yes, you can claim compensation if you have had a serious injury and it was not your fault. If someone else’s carelessness caused your injury, you may be able to make a personal injury claim to cover your losses. The serious injury claim process in the UK involves proving that another person or organisation was responsible and showing how the injury has affected your life.

In the UK, you usually have three years to make a serious injury claim. This time starts from the day of the accident or when you realised the injury was linked to it. This rule comes from the Limitation Act 1980. The serious injury claim process in the UK can be confusing, but you do not have to do it alone. Our team is here to help you gather the right documents, get medical reports, and make sure everything is done the right way.

The amount of compensation you get for a serious injury claim depends on how bad your injury is and how it affects your life. There is no set amount, but the money is usually given to cover things like your pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, and any future care you may need.

Yes, you can make a serious injury claim without a solicitor, but having a serious injury solicitor makes the process easier and more effective. They handle paperwork, deal with insurers, and help you get fair compensation. We can support you through every step of your claim to make sure you get what you deserve.

Not always. Most serious injury claims are settled outside of court through negotiations between your solicitor and the other side. You will usually only need to go to court if there is a disagreement about who was at fault or how much compensation you should get.

A serious injury claim in the UK can take a few months to a few years to settle. The time it takes depends on things like how serious the injury is, how complex the case is, and whether the other side accepts blame. It can also take longer if both sides do not agree quickly on a fair settlement.

Yes, you can sometimes claim compensation for someone else if they can not do it themselves. This usually happens when the person is a child or does not have the mental ability to handle the claim. In these cases, you would act as a “litigation friend” to help them.

To prove a serious personal injury claim, you need clear evidence showing what happened, how badly you were hurt, and how it has affected your life. This can include medical reports, photos of the accident, witness statements, official reports, and records of any money you have spent or lost because of the injury.

In the UK, serious injury claims are usually paid for through “no win, no fee” agreements, also called Conditional Fee Agreements. Some people also use Legal Expenses Insurance, trade union support, or pay privately. Our specialised team will guide you through the best funding option and handle everything with care and clarity.
