Critical Injury Solicitors for Serious Injury Claims

If you are considering making a compensation claim for a serious injury, then contact our team of specialist lawyers for an initial discussion about what has happened and the circumstances in which you sustained your injury.

We will ask for details including where the injury occurred, who was involved and whether there were any witnesses present. It is important for us to understand how your injury affects your daily life and impacts your family. Understanding the details of the incident and the effect the injury has had on your family allows us to assess the value of your claim and enables us to prepare the most robust and effective representation of your case.

After an initial chat, our team of serious injury lawyers will be able to advise you on the likelihood of a successful claim and give you an indication of the potential settlement value.  From there, we will guide you through the process in a friendly, supportive, and simple to understand manner.

It is critical that any financial settlement meets your lifetime needs so it is essential that you instruct solicitors with the skill and experience necessary to secure the full amount of compensation available.

Calculating the compensation due for a serious injury is a complex process, involving the consideration of many different factors. Because the details surrounding these factors will be unique in every case, so too will be the resultant compensation. At PSR Solicitors, we regularly handle cases of this nature, so we have a deep understanding of the process of assessing the potential value of a claim and are proud to have a long-standing track record of successfully and efficiently dealing with serious injury compensation claims.

Due to the long-term impact a serious injury has on the victim, the final settlement value will often be significantly greater than in an average personal injury compensation claim and may require the need for interim compensation payments to help support victims in their recovery.

The compensation awarded will reflect the physical pain and mental suffering endured by the victim, alongside any injury-related costs and anticipated future financial losses. This may include costs for rehabilitative care, professional nursing, home adaptations or specialist equipment as well as transport requirements. If the injured person were unable to return to work, the loss of future earnings would also need to be factored into any settlement.

Sometimes referred to as catastrophic injuries, serious injuries will usually result in the injured person being admitted to hospital for a prolonged period of time. In some cases, where the injury requires specific expertise or specialist medical equipment, the patient may need to be moved to a particular hospital to ensure they receive the most appropriate care for their injuries.

If and when the person is ready to come home, it is likely that they may require assistance from a relative or professional carer, certainly in the initial stages of their recovery but often on a long-term basis. They may also need to make a number of return visits to the hospital as part of their long-term treatment plan and are likely to undergo a tailored rehabilitation program to improve their quality of life and maximise their chances of recovery.

As well as the physical effects of the injury, victims of serious injuries can sometimes suffer detrimental effects to their mental health, either due to the trauma of the incident itself or because of the dramatic effect the injury has had on their life. These psychological effects can often be as debilitating as the physical effects of the injury itself and may prompt the injured person to seek professional psychiatric support.

The impacts of serious injuries are far-reaching. As everyday life changes after a serious injury, so do everyday tasks. Many activities that once required no assistance may need to be performed by someone else completely. The person may also require adaptations to their home or car and their injuries may mean they are unable to continue in their previous job and may force them to stop working completely.
