catastrophic injury
Catastrophic injuries are complex cases involving spinal cord
injuries, head
injuries or any other severe injuries.
If you or a family member has suffered a life-altering injury,
whatever the cause, it is vital you speak to a specialist as soon
as possible to see if you have a case for compensation. Early
intervention from an expert solicitor can, in appropriate
cases, help you to secure support with rehabilitation, care
and adaptations to accommodation.
We have a team of specialists with extensive experience of dealing
with these complex cases, with the expertise and knowledge to
manage the case from beginning to end, and understand the traumatic
effects of such life-altering injuries, and use a
multi-disciplinary approach calling on the services of a number of
experts.
We can also advise you on how to obtain help regarding
entitlement to welfare benefits and the statutory obligations of
local authorities.
Obtaining damages is part of the process, but protecting an
award for a client's lifetime is vital. Our specialist departments
can help with post-settlement issues such as
tax
planning or
personal
injury trusts.
We act for clients across the country, and are happy to travel and
visit you or a family member at home or in hospital. Our offices
are adapted for wheelchair access.
All our personal injury services are free to Union members and
their immediate family. To make a claim, please contact your Trade
Union Representative in the first instance. They will then put
you in touch with us.
We do not act for insurance companies - so there is never any
conflict of interest.
