    Serious Injury Claims

    Updated July 2026

    When you, or someone you love, suffers a catastrophic injury because of an accident that wasn’t your fault, a serious injury claim can help to get your life back on track. With serious injuries, the physical, emotional, and financial impact can be overwhelming. You may be facing long-term medical treatment, rehabilitation, and uncertainty about the future. Our specialist serious injury team understands how difficult this time can be, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

    Call us for free, confidential, no‑obligation advice about your circumstances and whether you may be eligible to make a claim.

    What Is a Serious or Catastrophic Injury?

    A serious or catastrophic injury is one that has a profound, long-lasting impact on your life. These injuries typically result in permanent disability, significant loss of independence, and the need for ongoing medical care, specialist equipment and adaptions in your home. They may also affect your ability to work, care for your family, or simply enjoy everyday activities. Unfortunately, the consequences can also have a serious impact on your family.

    Common Causes of Serious Injuries

    Serious injuries can unexpectedly happen on any day and in many situations, including:

    Examples of Serious or Catastrophic Injuries

    According to the UK’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) latest report on annual fatality statistics (2025/26) lists 126 workers having died in work-related incidents.

    However, accidents (often in the workplace) can also result in severe injuries. An HSE media release highlights an incident where a bricklayer fell two metres through an unguarded gap, landing on the floor below while replacing steps at a residential property. He suffered life-changing injuries, including head trauma and a stroke.

    Meanwhile, when it comes to road traffic accidents, the Department of Transport released provisional statistics for 2025. This includes a figure of 29,911 killed or serious injured (KSI) casualties which is an increase from 2024.

    Some of the most common types of serious injury include:

    • Brain injuries: including traumatic brain injury (TBI), hypoxic injuries, and severe concussion
    • Head injuries: causing cognitive impairment, memory loss, or long-term neurological issues
    • Spinal cord injuries: resulting in partial or full paralysis, reduced mobility, or chronic pain
    • Amputations: affecting limbs, hands, feet, or digits
    • Severe burns and lacerations: often requiring skin grafts, surgery, and long-term care
    • Loss of sight: partial or complete blindness caused by trauma or negligence
    • Severe facial disfigurement: with associated psychological trauma
    • Fatal accidents and wrongful death: where families may pursue justice and compensation

    If you’re unsure whether your injury qualifies as “serious” or “catastrophic,” our team can help you understand your options.

    How Serious Injury Claims Work

    Serious injury claims are generally more complex than standard personal injury cases. This is because they often involve multiple injuries, long-term medical needs, and significant financial losses. Our role is to make the process as clear and stress-free as possible.

    What We Do for You

    • Assess your eligibility to make a claim
    • Gather medical evidence and expert reports
    • Work with rehabilitation specialists to support your recovery
    • Calculate long-term financial losses, including future care needs
    • Build a strong case to secure maximum compensation
    • Provide clear, compassionate guidance throughout your claim

    We partner with highly experienced solicitors who specialise in serious injury cases and understands the complexities involved.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Serious Injury Claims

    How much compensation could I receive?

    Compensation varies as each claim is unique. But it will take into account the nature of your injuries, your long-term needs, your ability to work, and the overall impact on your daily life. Serious injury settlements can range from tens of thousands to several million pounds.

     

    Do I need medical evidence?

    Yes. Medical evidence is absolutely vital in serious injury claims. We will arrange expert assessments to understand the full impact of your injuries and your future care needs.

     

    Can I claim on behalf of someone else?

    Yes. You can claim on behalf of a child, a vulnerable adult, or someone who lacks mental capacity. You can also pursue a claim following a fatal accident.

     

    What happens when I call you?

    We will listen to your circumstances and connect you to one of our partner solicitors who is experienced in serious injury claims. There is no pressure to proceed, just straightforward, compassionate advice.
