Serious Injury Compensation Claims
Life after a serious injury can be challenging. Compensation can make it easier to manage.
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.

Irwin Mitchell, your legal partner
Why choose Irwin Mitchell to help you claim compensation for a serious injury?
As the UK’s largest specialist serious injury team, we have the knowledge and experience to help you secure the compensation you deserve. We’ve supported thousands of people after life-changing injuries, recovering millions of pounds in compensation.
We’ve played a role in landmark cases that have helped set the standard for serious injury claims – earning recognition from independent legal directories such as Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500.
But we understand that support after a serious injury goes beyond financial compensation. Our in-house Support and Rehabilitation coordinators are here to connect you with the services you need to rebuild your life.
Our welfare benefits team can guide you through any new welfare entitlements. And our personal injury trusts team will help you set up a trust to protect your compensation.
We also work closely with leading charities so you’ll feel supported both during and after your claim, including:
- Shauna and her partner Luke sustained injuries in a road crash in 2018. Shauna was treated for a head injury, fractures to her left eye, nose, right forearm and ribs, bowel and pelvic injuries, and a blood clot. She also sustained a spinal fracture and incomplete spinal cord injury, leaving her with no feeling below her knees. Our team secured interim payments to pay for private rehabilitation, securing her the compensation she would need to pay for her present and future needs with help from our financial advisors.
