Serious Injury Law Limited

This is one of the country’s leading practices specialising in catastrophic injury, focusing on cases including brain injury, spinal injury, amputation and cerebral palsy. It operates on a nationwide basis and is dedicated to rebuilding the lives of those affected by serious injury.

The firm: Serious Injury Law Ltd is a distinct and highly innovative firm. Founded in 1989, it was one of the first practices in the UK to be established with the specific intention of dealing exclusively with personal injury cases on behalf of claimants and later to develop its nationwide practice extensively in the then-emerging legal expenses insurance sector. Serious Injury Law Ltd has now become established as one of the UK’s leading firms in the field of catastrophic injury claims, with a particular emphasis on high-value, difficult liability cases. The firm has achieved numerous multimillion-pound settlements in cases of the utmost complexity.

The practice is committed to excellence in all areas of client care and is dedicated to the pursuit of professionalism and results. The practice has developed close relationships with leading charities, spinal centres, medical and care experts, consultants, specialist barristers and other leading professionals in the catastrophic injury field and is recommended by many leading organisations to act in such cases. It has a particular interest in investigating difficult liability cases. A number of high-value settlements have been achieved in cases that were rejected by other firms on the assumption that there were insufficient prospects of success.

The practice maintains investment in cutting-edge technology and offers a nationwide face-to-face client service, delivered professionally and sensitively. In order to help clients rebuild and regain control of their lives, it offers an all-encompassing service that not only includes legal assistance, but also the facilitation of rehabilitation, vocational training, housing adaptation, and more.

The practice has also been involved in a joint venture ABS, in partnership with the leading international insurance group Allianz, which has undertaken work on behalf of the motor manufacturers BMW, Volkswagen and Ford.

Types of work undertaken: All aspects of brain injury are dealt with, from mild traumatic brain injury to cases of the utmost severity.

Spinal injury is also a specific area of expertise, with a track record of involvement in cases of the utmost severity involving complete spinal cord injury and resulting in paraplegia and tetraplegia.

The practice also specialises in cerebral palsy cases, injuries resulting in amputation, cases involving medical negligence, serious/multiple orthopaedic injuries, and significant injuries arising from criminal assault.

The practice offers a full service for maximum severity cases and it has developed a dedicated panel of experts to ensure the provision of a comprehensive rehabilitation package. Its Court of Protection department is also highly rated.

Serious Injury Law Ltd intends to expand significantly as its market share grows in line with its reputation as well as its marketing and business relationships. The firm is currently recruiting in several areas of its practice.
