Your future must be covered.
Compensation for a serious injury has to meet the cost of care, equipment, housing and lost earnings for many years, so each claim is carefully valued and may take time.
Rehabilitation comes first.
Where the other side accepts responsibility, we ask them to fund treatment and therapy early, under the voluntary Rehabilitation Code used across the industry.
Interim payments
part of your compensation can be paid before the claim ends, once responsibility is admitted or likely to be established.
Lump sum or regular payments
the court can order regular, index-linked payments for long-term needs.
Time limit
usually three years, but it does not run while someone lacks mental capacity, and a child has until their 21st birthday.
Scale
under the Judicial College Guidelines (18th edition, April 2026), the very top brackets for pain and suffering alone now exceed £500,000, before any care or financial loss.
Who we help
We support people with:
- Spinal cord injuries, including paralysis
- Brain and head injuries
- Amputations and loss of limbs
- Severe burns and scarring
- Multiple fractures and complex orthopaedic injuries
- Serious injuries to children
- Injuries causing long-term pain, disability or loss of independence
These may result from road accidents, accidents at work, falls or other incidents where someone else was at fault.
Rehabilitation comes first
Your recovery matters more than your claim. Evidence shows that early, specialist rehabilitation, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychological support and the right equipment, can make a real difference to how well someone recovers. We do not believe it should wait for a settlement.
We work with independent case managers and other specialists who can assess your needs, coordinate your treatment and help plan your home, your care and, where possible, your return to work.
How we can help
- Early support. We ask the other side to fund rehabilitation and urgent costs while the claim continues.
- Interim payments. Where appropriate, we apply for part of your compensation to be paid early so your family is not left struggling.
- A full picture of your needs. We instruct independent experts in care, therapy, accommodation, employment and medicine, so that your future losses are not underestimated.
- Protecting your money and benefits. A large settlement can affect means-tested benefits. We can advise on options such as a personal injury trust, and on independent financial advice. Where someone cannot manage their own money, the Court of Protection can appoint a deputy.
- Support for your family. The care that relatives give can be included in your claim, and we will explain how.
What can you claim for?
- Pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life
- Past and future care, whether from professionals or family
- Adaptations to your home, or the cost of suitable new accommodation
- Specialist equipment, mobility aids and transport
- Rehabilitation and ongoing therapies
- Lost earnings and pension, including the loss of your future career
- Medical treatment and travel costs
You can usually claim the cost of private care and treatment that is reasonably needed, even if the NHS could provide some of it. Future losses are calculated with official tables and a discount rate set by the Lord Chancellor, which we will explain in plain English.
If you cannot manage your own claim
If your injury affects your ability to make decisions, a family member or other suitable person can act on your behalf as a litigation friend, and the court must approve any settlement. We will guide your family through every step and explain how your money is protected afterwards.
How no win, No fee works
It is the question we hear most, and it is a fair one. Your claim is made against your employer’s insurer, and it is a perfectly lawful thing to do. Employers must not treat you unfairly because you made a genuine claim. If something changes at work after you speak up, tell us at once. We will explain your rights and, where it falls outside what we do, point you to the right employment advice.
