Multiple injuries & major trauma claims
Legal support for the most complex injury claims.
Our major trauma solicitors secure rehabilitation, practical specialist support and financial compensation for adults and children who have suffered catastrophic, life-changing or multiple injuries in accidents on the road, at work, at school, at leisure or abroad.
We help our clients and their families through the challenges which follow a sudden, devastating injury caused by somebody else’s negligence. We ensure that the injured person receives personalised rehabilitation, funded by the negligent defendant’s insurers, at the time when it matters most to maximise their recovery. We help them rebuild their lives, restoring independence, quality of life and financial stability through their entitlement to compensation.
Sudden, serious injury can cause severe financial hardship, particularly when the injury prevents the injured person or their family carer from returning to work. In most cases, we can obtain interim (advance compensation) payments whilst the claim is ongoing, to help relieve the additional stress caused by concerns about money.
- Nationally recognised personal injury specialists with decades of experience
- Access to leading medical experts and rehabilitation professionals
- Proven track record of securing life-changing compensation for families

Starting your major trauma injury claim
It costs nothing to talk to us to find out about making a major trauma injury claim for yourself or a member of your family. You can contact us for free, confidential advice from a specialist personal injury solicitor. In serious injury cases, we often visit our clients in the hospital or at their home if they are unable to get to our offices.
We will ask you to tell us briefly about the accident and injury. We will advise you about any time limits that may apply and whether we can help you make a claim. Your solicitor will discuss with you how your claim will be funded and advise, fully and clearly, how that works and what it will mean for you. We offer a range of funding options, but most of our clients’ claims are handled on a ‘no win no fee’ basis.
We will put your claim to the defendant individual or organisation whose negligence caused your injury, and we will handle all communication on your behalf. The defendant’s insurers will usually handle the claim on the defendant’s behalf and will be responsible for paying any compensation. Once we are in contact with the defendant’s insurers, we can begin to secure the necessary rehabilitation and specialist support to meet the injured person’s immediate needs whilst we proceed with the claim.
No win, no fee
No hidden or upfront costs. Clear, straightforward advice. Nothing to pay unless your claim is successful.
Over 30 years’ experience
We have helped thousands of clients claim compensation.
Fully regulated
Authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
