What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury is an injury to the body. Sometimes the physical injury or the circumstances in which that injury was suffered also leads to a psychiatric or psychological injury.
When someone is injured as a result of another person or organisation’s breach of their duty of care (negligence), the injured person may be entitled to claim compensation for their injury and its financial consequences.
The claim for compensation is made against the person or organisation that was responsible for the injury and is usually met by their insurer. The legal process of claiming compensation for injuries that are caused by negligence is known as a personal injury claim.
Our expert personal injury lawyers specialise in helping people who have suffered catastrophic or severe injury as a result of accidents, negligence or unsafe working conditions.
Our clients have suffered permanent disability from brain injury, spinal cord damage (SCI) and amputation, or lasting effects from severe physical and psychological injury. We help them secure timely, appropriate rehabilitation to maximise their recovery and compensation to meet their ongoing needs, whilst supporting them (and their family) as they adjust to life with a disability.
