Types of major trauma we can help with

Major trauma can take many forms. Whatever your injury, our experienced team is here for you and your family.

Traumatic Brain Injury

A traumatic brain injury can affect memory, mood, communication and independence, sometimes in ways others can’t see. We’ll make sure your claim reflects every effect, and help you access specialist neurological rehabilitation as early as possible.

Traumatic Spinal Injury

A traumatic spinal injury can change everything in an instant: how you move, work and live your life. We’ll help you access specialist rehabilitation, equipment and home adaptations, and secure compensation for the lifelong care you may need.

Traumatic Amputation

Losing a limb can be life-changing, both physically and emotionally. We’ll help you access the right prosthetics for you, including advanced options the NHS may not provide, along with rehabilitation and psychological support to help you adjust.

Changing Lives

Life after Major Trauma

For some people, leaving a major trauma centre is the point where some of the biggest challenges begin. We’ll help you access rehabilitation, case management, home adaptations and emotional support, so you and your family have what you need to rebuild and move on.

Support from experienced major trauma solicitors

Major trauma can have a lasting impact on your ability to work and live independently, and its effects could touch your whole family. Alongside what may be a long physical recovery, you may need help with the emotional and financial aspect too. That’s where we come in, with practical support from the very start.

Getting the best possible outcome is often about much more than a financial settlement. It also means making sure you have the right rehabilitation programme in place. Care at major trauma centres is often excellent, but support can drop away after discharge because NHS and community services are under such strain. We step in to help fill that gap.

We’re proud to be part of the Major Trauma Signposting Partnership, helping people find the right support after major trauma. We understand the emotional and financial impact of a serious injury. We also know what it takes to secure compensation that restores your quality of life and gives you a more positive future.

You’re never just a case to us. You’re a person facing the complex challenges that come with a serious injury, and your welfare always comes first. We’ll support you with rehabilitation, finances and anything else that arises after your accident, easing the pressure on you and your family. Our goal is to put you back, as far as possible, in the position you’d have been in if the injury had never happened.

The effects of major trauma can be permanent, and some people need specialist care for the rest of their lives. We’ve built strong relationships with medical specialists and case managers, who we work alongside to make sure you get all the support you deserve when you need it most.
