A serious injury can change everything – from your ability to work and live independently, to enjoying your hobbies and day-to-day life

Serious injuries are those that cause permanent disability, long-term health problems, or more than 30 days’ absence from work. In some severe cases, they also result in death. Their impact is felt not only by you, but by your loved ones.

We’ve supported individuals and families facing a wide range of serious injuries, including:

  • Amputation
  • Brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Major trauma including multiple fractures.

We’ve also supported families after the loss of a loved one, helping them access the support and compensation they need to move forward.

“Our Solicitor, Hilary, was very calm, respectful, and the empathy she gave us, we knew she was the right fit.”

Lisa 

Mother of our personal injury client, Olivia

Olivia was 10 years old when a car crash changed her life. The news that she’d lost her leg took time to sink in. Olivia’s mum, Lisa, who was also injured, worried about how the family would cope. The legal claim provided funds for a bigger house which gave Olivia space to use her wheelchair, and with it, the freedom to enjoy family life. We also secured a comprehensive rehabilitation package and specialist prosthetics for Olivia, who’s now living independently at university and enjoying everything life has to offer.
