Personal Injury Types & Compensation for Personal Injury

Your accident may have caused not only physical pain but also psychological distress. Some who have experienced a traumatic accident go on to develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and other psychological problems such as depression and anxiety which can have a significant detrimental impact on daily life. Sufferers re-live the accident circumstances through flashbacks and nightmares.

If you suffered any of these symptoms, you may find it hard to concentrate. If you have more severe symptoms you may have difficulty coping with daily life, it can put a strain on your relationships and recovery can take a long time. Our specialist personal injury solicitors are are highly experienced in dealing with compensation claims involving PTSD and other psychological conditions. They can advise you on pursuing your accident claim and will work to achieve the maximum compensation for your condition based on expert medical opinion.

An injury or burn can result in scarring, whether from the injury itself or due to medical treatment required. This scarring may be minor and hidden from sight or, at the other end of the scale, painful and disfiguring. You may be concerned about how the scarring looks and it may impact on your self-esteem. Our specialist compensation solicitors understand the effect of such injuries and strive to achieve you the best possible settlement.

Injury to your hips or pelvis can be very painful and seriously affect your everyday life and work. You may find it difficult to move around whilst you recover and may require surgery, such as a hip replacement, and face an extended period of recovery. Whether you were injured in a bad fall or trip, or in an accident on the road or at work, you could be entitled to claim compensation that can help support you and your family through your recovery.

Leg injuries can cover a wide range of conditions and can range from those that resolve quickly to serious injury requiring extended time off work, help with everyday life and potentially a long-term impact on your mobility. 

Knee injuries can be to the bones or to the soft tissue, such as the ligaments.  Such conditions can require rehabilitation treatment, rest or surgery, and may affect you long term. Being in pain and immobile, you may be unable to work as usual and may be relying on family to help you move around or do simple tasks.

Ankle injuries, even minor ones, are often painful and can take months to recover from. You may have to have time off work if you cannot put weight on the ankle, and if you have a manual job, you could find it difficult to return to work immediately, which may result in lost wages.

If you have suffered an injury to your leg, knee or ankle due to someone else’s fault whether that is through a fall, accident at work or a road traffic accident then our specialist personal injury solicitors can give you prompt advice as to whether you have grounds for a compensation claim and take you through the process.

Having a shoulder injury can be a painful and frustrating experience. You may feel limited in what you can do compared to before the injury and may not be able to achieve such simple things as washing your hair or putting on clothes. You may be used to using your hands to carry out work above head height and be restricted or indeed unable to work. More seriously, your accident may have led to a shoulder injury resulting in permanent damage and the loss of function or power in your arms.

Compensation could help you address financial worries from extended time off work and help you adjust to any long-term changes in your life due to your injury.

Hand injuries, whilst perhaps initially thought of as a minor injury, could have a major impact on your life, affecting your work, home life and even the hobbies you enjoy. You may not only have to contend with a painful injury but have to take time off work or rely on family members to cope with things you normally do for yourself.  You may not be able to take part in your sporting hobbies or musical interests due to your hand injury. 

Wrist injuries caused by accidents are common.  Every day our specialist compensation solicitors deal with claims for wrist injuries caused by someone else’s fault whether at work or from a fall in a public place. 

Our specialist personal injury solicitors understand the pain, frustration and inconvenience you could be experiencing with hand or wrist injuries and can advise you if you have grounds for a compensation claim and help you throughout the claims process.

An accident leading to loss of a limb is undoubtedly a devastating and life-changing experience.
