What is Classed as a Serious Injury Claim

03 August 2022

As specialist solicitors in serious injury compensation claims, we are often asked what injuries are classed as serious for the purposes of making a claim. 

 

A serious or catastrophic injury is one that is likely to have a long-lasting impact on a person and their family's life. These are injuries which may be considered as life-changing or lead to death. Such injuries may include but are not limited to the following:- 

  • Head or brain injury 
  • Spinal cord injury  
  • Loss of sight or hearing 
  • Amputation 
  • Severe burning 

Serious injuries can unfortunately happen at any time.  They can occur as a result of road accident, accidents at work or medical negligence
