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.

We secured a £3,425,000 provisional damages settlement in a major trauma RTA claim for a pedestrian who suffered life-changing multiple injuries, including head, spinal and orthopaedic injuries, PTSD and chronic pain, when she was hit by a van. Following extensive treatment, rehabilitation and £200,000 in interim payments, our client’s settlement also allows her to claim further compensation in future if she needs an amputation.

Kim at Boyes Turner was recommended to me after I had received ineffective service from another company. From the outset, Kim has been professional, reassuring and supportive. I have always had faith in her ability to get the best outcome, not only financially, but also in helping my rehabilitation from a traumatic brain injury. She is friendly and empathetic, with unquestionable professional integrity. She was quick to grasp the important issues in my case, was meticulous in her investigating the details and analysing them, realistic in what the outcomes were likely to be and achieved a successful outcome. I would not hesitate in recommending her and Boyes Turner.
The last 6 years since my incident have been so difficult for my mental health and general life When I chose Boyes Turner, I was expecting just a solicitor to take my case forward. What in fact I actually got is a solicitor who genuinely cared about what had happened to me and wanted to help me get justice. Without their support I would have probably given in and accepted what happened. I am so glad that I didn’t, now it’s over I am now feeling empowered knowing it wasn’t my fault. They have given me hope for the future. It is more than a job for Claire, she is caring and kind, and wants the best for clients. Thank you.
Kim and team at Boyes Turner were a patient and stabilising force though a multi-year case. This case was littered with trauma and upset from the beginning, and exacerbated by mis truths and rewriting of the demonstrable facts from the opposition. Kim guided me carefully through the process and helped to neutralise the negativity coming from the opposition throughout.
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.
Almost 5 years ago my son suffered a life changing brain injury accident. A new life for everyone, so many unknowns so many difficult decisions. I met Claire and the team shortly after the accident. So many questions answered but more than that, amazing lovely people. Claire has been guiding me and the family throughout this ordeal with such compassion, there every time I needed her we couldn’t of asked for a nicer person. I have met many others within Boyes Turner and all have been genuine lovely people, I’m now working with Ruth and Lindsay from the court of protection. Again, I can't say enough about them amazing lovely people. They truly do want the best for my son and they did and continue to do so.
