Common Types of Life Changing Injuries
Head and Brain Injury
Common injuries include concussion and accident-related brain injuries which can be subtle, mild or severe. Such injuries, which are not caused by genetic or congenital disorders, are referred to as ‘acquired brain injuries’ by the medical community. Brain injuries of all types can devastate people’s lives. It is crucial to get advice from a solicitor with expertise in the relevant area as soon as possible.
Spine / Spinal Cord Injuries
Injuries to the spine / spinal cord can be detrimental, complex and life-changing. While modern medicine is advancing, it has only come so far, and recovery from such injuries can be very slow. We can assist you in making a claim if the injury has resulted from an accident that was not your fault.
Fatal Accident Claims
If the cause of the death of a loved one is somebody else’s fault you may be able to make a financial damages claim to relieve the financial burden and mental distress experienced as a result.
Lower Body Injuries
A loss of a limb (or multiple limbs) can have a detrimental effect on your ability to continue with everyday life and activities. If you have lost a limb and it was not your fault, we may be able to assist you in making a claim for financial damages.
Loss of limb claims
Psychological Injuries and Trauma
Unseen injuries such as post-traumatic stress and depression can often accompany chronic pain when you suffer a serious injury. If this is the case and the injuries suffered are a result of an accident that was not your fault, we can assist you in making a claim for compensation.
General and Special Damages
Claims can be made for general damages which relate to the pain and suffering caused by a serious injury. In addition, claims will also take into consideration additional special damages including medical expenses, nursing aids and loss of earnings.
