Serious Orthopaedic Injuries
We’ll do our utmost to help secure the best possible future for you and your family following a serious orthopaedic injury.
We’ve worked with both adults and children who’ve sustained serious orthopaedic injuries following road traffic collisions, accidents at work, medical negligence and assaults.
Due to our expertise in this area we feature in the solicitors directories for Headway – The Brain Injury Association, Spinal Injuries Association and the UK Acquired Brain Injury Forum.
A serious orthopaedic injury can have a devastating effect on your financial circumstances and lifestyle for the rest of your life, affecting not just you but your family and loved ones.
We work hard to provide a complete legal service and will look to secure early interim payments as part of the legal claim. This can optimise your recovery by looking to implement complete support and rehabilitation packages, obtain specialist aids and equipment, address any accommodation needs and much more.
Even when someone is only partly to blame you may still be able to claim. It is important to get legal advice from an experienced solicitor familiar in dealing with serious orthopaedic injury claims.
Our goal is to support our clients to make the best possible recovery so they can return to leading full and active lives. If you or a family member have been injured, please contact us and we can start a serious orthopaedic injury claim.
Following your injury
It is estimated that 1.2 million people in Britain suffer with work-related injuries caused by accidents or illness. Parliament estimates that 24,381 people per year are seriously injured in road traffic collisions in the UK.
The initial impact of a serious orthopaedic injury can be devastating and completely debilitating for the individual concerned. Often, the individual will require intensive surgery, physiotherapy and other forms of treatment to try and assist with recovery.
Our specialist serious injury lawyers deal with orthopaedic injuries of all types, from a fractured hand to a complete fracture of a leg requiring extensive surgery and metal work insertion. Often there can be scarring following extensive surgery or trauma necessitating cosmetic surgery.
Because of the wide array of symptoms from pain, lack of mobility and psychological injury, it is important to gain access to the very best medical experts who will assess you and provide their recommendations for treatment, rehabilitation and care.
Financial compensation can be provided by way of interim payments so that you have access to private treatment, aids and equipment, accommodation, rehabilitation and care when you need it and also counter loss of earnings. Compensation can also be used to alleviate some of the immediate financial difficulties which can be caused by a serious injury.
It is therefore essential that you seek legal advice from an experienced serious injury solicitor as soon as possible following your injury.
Rehabilitation and support
We work with the existing specialist rehabilitation providers and the NHS to ensure that your ongoing care and treatment is as continuous and straightforward as possible.
It is important at this most difficult of times that you gain access to the right kind of help and advice. Indeed, rehabilitation is an important part of the recovery process and therefore you need to gain access to appropriate rehabilitation as soon as possible.
We also work closely with medical experts who can provide assistance with physiotherapy, psychotherapy and other means of rehabilitation to assist in getting you as well as possible, as soon as possible.
Long-term support
Depending on the severity of the orthopaedic injury you may require long-term support for either part of or throughout your life.
The local authority may well provide some care and support to you and your family or any carers. However, funding may well be available through your personal injury claim.
The aim of this support is to enable you and your family to live as independently as possible. The level of support will be assessed carefully to try and reflect your long-term needs.
Our aims are to support you through the legal process and also make sure that you or your loved one achieve the best possible outcome.
Legal issues
If we deal with you or your loved one’s personal injury compensation claim, we will do so on a completely No-Win No-Fee basis.
Please try not to judge the circumstances of the case, as your solicitor can best advise whether any compensation is recoverable. We are recognised as leading experts in dealing with cases involving serious injuries.
We set up our Medical Negligence and Serious Injury (MNSI) Team to bring together the most specialist personal injury lawyers with medical and disability experts to fight for justice for the most seriously injured victims of accidents.
