Our major trauma solicitors secure rehabilitation, practical specialist support and financial compensation for adults and children who have suffered catastrophic, life-changing or multiple injuries in accidents on the road, at work, at school, at leisure or abroad.
We help our clients and their families through the challenges which follow a sudden, devastating injury caused by somebody else’s negligence. We ensure that the injured person receives personalised rehabilitation, funded by the negligent defendant’s insurers, at the time when it matters most to maximise their recovery. We help them rebuild their lives, restoring independence, quality of life and financial stability through their entitlement to compensation.
Sudden, serious injury can cause severe financial hardship, particularly when the injury prevents the injured person or their family carer from returning to work. In most cases, we can obtain interim (advance compensation) payments whilst the claim is ongoing, to help relieve the additional stress caused by concerns about money.
Speak to our personal injury solicitors
It costs nothing to talk to us to find out about making a major trauma injury claim for yourself or a member of your family. You can contact us by telephone or by email for free, confidential advice from a specialist personal injury solicitor. In serious injury cases, we often visit our clients in the hospital or at their home if they are unable to get to our offices.
We will ask you to tell us briefly about the accident and injury. We will advise you about any time limits that may apply and whether we can help you make a claim. Your solicitor will discuss with you how your claim will be funded and advise, fully and clearly, how that works and what it will mean for you. We offer a range of funding options, but most of our clients’ claims are handled on a ‘no win no fee’ basis.
We will put your claim to the defendant individual or organisation whose negligence caused your injury, and we will handle all communication on your behalf. The defendant’s insurers will usually handle the claim on the defendant’s behalf and will be responsible for paying any compensation. Once we are in contact with the defendant’s insurers, we can begin to secure the necessary rehabilitation and specialist support to meet the injured person’s immediate needs whilst we proceed with the claim.

The service from Boyes Turner has quite simply been outstanding, at the most stressful time in our lives they thoroughly looked after us from start to finish. From a warm coffee and listening ear during meetings, to efficiency and professionalism with the legal formalities. Claire our solicitor obviously had a wealth of legal experience of this kind but she also had a real insight and understanding of my injuries. She pushed hard to make sure I could access early on rehabilitation that was not available via the NHS, which enabled me to get back to looking after my kids (which was my number one priority). At the beginning my recovery felt bleak but knowing I had Claire and her team in my corner I started to believe I could get some quality of life back, and I really have. Now the case has concluded, I feel closure and satisfaction my case was dealt with by the best and can move forward with my life with no regrets. Thank you Claire and the Boyes Turner Team.
Excellent service from Claire and her team at all times. We were kept up to date at each stage of our claim. The outcome was much better than we expected and we would not hesitate to recommend Boyes Turner to family and friends.
I’ve been very lucky to have Martin & Roshni collaborate to help me when I needed a solicitor to takeover from a very horrible accident. They both are very caring, professional and succeeded getting the best outcome in my case. This is the second time in using this solicitor’s firm and always the same high standard service.
I almost lost my leg during an accident. Claire and her team came recommended from a friend. I cannot overstate the excellent management of the case from Claire. In my professional life I deal with the other side of this injury and in the medico-legal aspects and it was phenomenal to see how Claire and her team managed not only the legal side but stayed on top of the holistic side of my post injury care when no one else was. I have no doubt my outcome is far better than it would have been had I been left to the routine devices of the healthcare system. Following on from this her guidance and expertise in negotiating a settlement was outstanding.
I approached Claire Roantree of Boyes Turner in regards to making a claim about a workplace burns injury. It was something that had scarred me physically and mentally and taken a huge toll on the lives of me and my family. Claire wasted no time in finding out what happened and made sure I was treated by known experts and quickly finding an answer to my burns scarring and how I could be treated to help manage my pain. Claire also helped me by appointing a psychiatrist to understand my situation and help me cope with post traumatic stress disorder. As well as taking as much stress of the claim away, she was thorough in every situation, making sure I had the best possible claim, and handled it all expertly, I am so very grateful to her and her team. They have helped guide my life back into a positive direction and I can't thank her enough!
