Serious Injury Claims Solicitors
Serious injuries of any description are likely to have a major impact on both you and your loved ones. If it can be proved that your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be in a position to claim compensation.
At Wolferstans, we have a specialist team looking after clients who have suffered severe injuries as a result of an accident. This ensures that those clients are advised by people who have the necessary skill and experience to deal with these complex claims. The team has particular expertise in dealing with both head and spinal injuries and understands the unique challenges that these bring.
We offer a comprehensive service to clients who have suffered a catastrophic injury, working to ensure that, where possible, a rehabilitation programme is put in place early to provide support and professional care to the injured person and their family.
We know that when a member of a family suffers a serious injury, it has a profound effect on not only the injured person but also the whole family. From the start we focus on the immediate needs of the injured person and their family in terms of physical and psychological support and also financial support.
Early Payments Available
Where possible, we’ll push for interim payments to help cover costs, care, and rehabilitation so you’re not worrying about paying the bills while the claim is progressed.
This also helps you get started on getting your life back on track after an accident, or helping you adapt to your new circumstances in the case of serious injuries.
How our serious injury solicitors can help
In every instance, we will work with insurance companies where appropriate to enable our clients to receive the best treatment throughout the various stages of their rehabilitation.
Where liability is not in dispute, we will also obtain interim payments to help with the financial pressures which often accompany a very serious injury. This can be vitally important in circumstances where the injured person is unable to work or needs a formal care regime to be set up.

How to claim for a serious injury
Establishing whether you are eligible for compensation for a serious injury
Before you consider making a claim for a serious injury, it is first important to clearly establish whether you will be entitled to make a claim and, if so, what the process will involve. Our specialist serious injury solicitors can help you with this.
When instructed, our team can put their years of experience to use, assessing your case in detail to build a comprehensive picture of exactly what happened. From here, we can make sure that all of the necessary evidence is collated to support your claim and that no detail is overlooked.
Making sure you get the maximum compensation available
When dealing with the fallout of a serious injury, you will understandably want to be sure that you access the maximum possible compensation to support you and your family.
At Wolferstans, our team will make sure that all of your needs are fully considered and that the ways your serious injury have affected your life are accounted for.
This will typically mean taking steps to secure appropriate compensation for:
- The financial impact of a serious injury – e.g. Lost income, paying for medical fees, nursing fees etc.
- The personal impact of a serious injury – e.g. Pain and suffering, no longer being able to carry out the activities you were previously able to (loss of amenity), the time it takes your family to look after you etc.
Securing early payments to cover medical costs, hospice fees and more
Depending on the nature of your serious injury, it may be necessary to secure early payments which can be used to fund any care, equipment or home adaptations that may be needed.
We regularly work with specialist medical and nursing experts, together with hospices, to provide the best possible service to our clients.
Taking over a serious injury claim from another firm where you are unhappy with the outcome
Many clients come to use after previously being awarded a settlement with another firm that they are not satisfied with. Where this is the case, we will be happy to provide a second opinion.
If we believe that we will be able to secure a higher settlement that accurately reflects the impact of your injury, we will be able to re-open the case to seek further compensation.
