Catastrophic Injury

If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury due to someone else’s negligence, you could be entitled to make a claim for compensations.

Dealing with a catastrophic injury requires serious measures from an experienced personal injury solicitor who will take full account of what it will take to rehabilitate the victim, help them adapt their lifestyle and resume life as an active member of society.

At Morrish Solicitors, we know that catastrophic injury claims demand specialist, highly experienced lawyers and that’s what you get when you talk to us. We have a dedicated department dealing solely with serious and catastrophic injury claims.

Making a Catastrophic Injury Claim

When serious injuries occur, the effects can be devastating on both the injured person and their loved ones. Getting specialist advice, as soon as possible, is vital. At Morrish Solicitors, we know that providing a swift response is essential to reduce the fear and worry that such news brings, and to navigate the uncertainty of times ahead.

We always arrange a face-to-face meeting at the most convenient location for you. The first meeting is a vital, two-way process that allows us to obtain all the necessary information we need from you and provide answers to the many and varied questions you will have. We understand the importance of dealing with both the legal and the human aspects of the claim. We help remove the burden and worry of dealing with every aspect of an injured person’s life so that he or she can concentrate on what really counts – getting better.

Specialist Catastrophic Injury Solicitors

Here at Morrish Solicitors, we have a long history of assisting victims of serious injury to rebuild their lives. We know that their needs are very different from more common place Personal Injury claims.

The claim itself is not just about receiving compensation, it is much, much more critical, and complex than that.  Others may concentrate on the size of the award but, in additional to that and knowing that mere numbers are not the only concern, we adopt a different approach. The final compensation should be the ‘icing on the cake’ only once all other aspects of the claim have been systematically dealt with.

It is vital to set up a detailed rehabilitation programme as early as possible to assist in the treatment of the injury or condition, and to expedite the return to work, at least on a reduced hours basis. In the most severe cases, this programme may mean setting care regimes and life plans, providing modifications to the home or vehicles and even the provision of newly adapted accommodation or transport.

It is essential to secure interim payments as early and as regularly as possible to prevent difficulties with debts, to help buy vital equipment and any necessary treatment needed beyond NHS provision. We recognise that working people who depend on regular income can suffer long-lasting and devastating effects to the entire family if that income is removed through injury.

We also recognise that once the primary needs for rehabilitation, care, accommodation, transport and income are resolved for the longer term, then and only then can we concentrate on the issue of final compensation payment.

It is important to understand that no two claims are the same and each must be viewed on its own merits. Some claims may not suit a final one-off payment, but it may be more effective to seek ongoing income that continues for life.

If each of the above is done correctly, then any final award may, in fact, be reduced because provision has already been made for the claimant’s needs for life. We at Morrish Solicitors believe this is far more important than merely securing a large final lump sum settlement, perhaps years after the incident.
