Serious and Life-Changing Workplace Injury Claims

Some workplace accidents cause injuries that fundamentally change a person's life. If you or someone you love has suffered a serious injury at work — such as a spinal injury, traumatic brain injury, amputation, or severe burns — specialist legal advice and support are essential.

Types of Serious Workplace Injuries

• Spinal cord injuries — including complete and incomplete paralysis
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Traumatic amputation
• Severe burns — chemical, thermal, or electrical
• Multiple fractures
• Loss of sight or hearing

What Serious Injury Compensation May Cover

• Pain, suffering, and loss of amenity including psychological impact
• Full past and future loss of earnings
• Pension loss
• Medical treatment, surgery, and rehabilitation
• Long-term care needs including 24-hour care in severe cases
• Accommodation adaptations — wheelchair access, hoists, specialist bathrooms
• Specialist equipment — prosthetics, communication aids, adapted vehicles
• Family and carer support

Interim Payments

Where liability is accepted or likely to be accepted, it may be possible to apply for an interim payment — an advance of compensation before the case is fully resolved. This can help fund urgent rehabilitation, equipment, or care whilst the full value of the claim is assessed.
