Catastrophic Injury

These complex cases involve 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 help you to secure support with rehabilitation, care and adaptations to accommodation.

At Walker Smith Way, we have a team of specialists with extensive experience of dealing with these complex cases. We have the expertise and knowledge to manage the case from beginning to end. We understand the traumatic effects of such life-altering injuries, and use a multi disciplinary approach that calls on the services of a number of experts. We will advise you on how to obtain help regarding entitlement to welfare benefits and the statutory obligations of Local Authorities.

Obtaining damages is our primary focus, but protecting an award for our client’s lifetime is vital. Our specialist departments can help with post-settlement issues such as Tax Planning or Administration of Estates.

If you think you may have a claim, contact your Trade Union Officer in the first instance. They will then put you in touch with us.
