Multi-trauma claims

Multi-trauma injuries are devastating and can affect your whole family. Sadly they can be caused by many different types of accidents, the most common being:

• road traffic accidents
• pedestrian accidents
• slipping, tripping or falling accidents
• playground accidents (in the case of children)
• medical negligence
• dog bites or animal attacks

If a child has suffered a number of injuries you can make a claim on their behalf if you are their parent, guardian or carer.

Whilst claiming compensation can never take away the pain and suffering that you have endured, it may provide you and your family with a secure and stable future. This is because compensation awards can cover the cost of rehabilitation, specialist care, treatment, equipment and adaptations needed to your home or vehicle. This can make a huge difference to quality of life.

As well as handling the legal process of making a claim for you, we’ll also provide advice on getting early access to rehabilitation for your child to encourage a higher chance of recovery from their injuries. If responsibility is admitted early then we’ll seek interim payments from the defendants before the claim is finalised so that you have access to treatment as soon as possible.
