Catastrophic injuries

A catastrophic injury is any serious or life-changing injury that results in permanent disability, ongoing medical problems or a reduction in life expectancy. The consequences for you and your family are likely to be substantial.

Examples of catastrophic injuries include the following:

• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal injury
• Paraplegia or quadriplegia (paralysis)
• Burns
• Crush injuries
• Nerve damage
• Amputation
• Birth injuries
• Organ damage
• Multiple injuries

It is advisable to seek legal representation as soon after the incident as possible. This will ensure that evidence can be gathered and witness statements taken while the event is still fresh in people’s memories. There are also time limits during which a claim for compensation should be made.
If you believe you were partly to blame for the accident, you should still make a claim. Your compensation may be reduced, but you will still be entitled to payment for your injuries if someone else was also to blame. We also act for the families of those who have been in a fatal accident.

Compensation for catastrophic or serious injuries

Your claim against the party responsible will be for damages in respect of the pain and suffering you are undergoing as well as for loss of earnings, reduction in quality of life, psychological and emotional trauma, loss of career and expenses relating to your injuries.
Compensation will allow you to put the right care and medical treatment in place for the future. This could include rehabilitation, adapting your home, employing someone to care for you and everyday living expenses.
