Multiple injury compensation claim solicitors

If you've suffered multiple injuries, these are some types that could be included in your claim:

• Brain and head injuries
• Spine injuries
• Amputations
• Nerve damage
• Crush injuries
• Neck injuries
• Burn injuries

Accidents can result in simultaneous injuries across a wide range of settings, including in public, at work, on the road and in the hands of medical professionals. No matter your circumstances, compensation for multiple injuries could help support you and your family during your recovery and beyond.

Multiple injuries occur when someone has experienced more than one injury from the same accident that wasn't their fault. This is a common scenario following road traffic accidents, for example.

The types of multiple injuriesin a car accident often include a combination of things like:

• Internal injuries such as bleeding, penetrating trauma and blunt trauma
• Broken bones and fractures
• Other serious injuries - such as to the eyes, spine, back and neck

The combination of multiple injuries can often make the rehabilitation process much more challenging and drawn out. Severe consequences could even make you dependent on others and dramatically impact your quality of life. No matter if you've suffered a range of minor injuries or a few life-changing ones, you're entitled to seek compensation to help you on the road to recovery and beyond.

If you're thinking of starting a multiple injury claim, talk to us so we can advise you on the best way for your claim to move forwards.

Each case is unique and your potential compensation payout will depend on the specific circumstances of the incident, the severity of your injuries, and the impacts they've had on your life. You can get an estimate of how much your multiple injury claim could be worth by using our quick and easy compensation calculator. 

It's not guaranteed that you'll get more compensation for multiple injuries compared to just one, but you'll likely be able to claim more if the impact on your life has been greater.

Injury claims of all kinds are calculated in line with the Judicial College Guidelines, which set out how much each type of claim is worth in compensation. A payout is designed to help you with your recovery and rehabilitation and cover any long-term costs that you'll have to pay as a result of your injuries.

Compensation is calculated in two categories:

• General damages: These relate to the injuries, pain and suffering caused directly by the accident.
• Special damages: These account for indirect financial losses you've incurred because of your injuries, such as income loss, travel costs and medical bills.

With a multiple injuries claim, each type of injury is considered to determine how much your overall settlement could be worth. Before starting legal proceedings, your solicitor will assess your experience and injuries to ensure you know exactly what you can claim for.

If you've got everything you need to seek multiple injury compensation, the claims process will usually follow these steps:

• You and your lawyer will go into detail about your experience so they can fully understand the case before any legal proceedings begin. You may need to provide evidence such as photographs, accident reports and records of any medical treatments you received.
• Once your lawyer has everything they need, they'll contact the party responsible for your injuries and inform them of the claim.
• They can either accept or contest the claim. If they don't accept liability, your lawyer will enter into negotiations and possibly start court proceedings, which you may have to attend. They'll keep you informed as things happen.
• You'll attend a medical assessment and work with your solicitor to collate special damages evidence.
• If your multiple injury claim is successful, you'll receive compensation. Your lawyer will take an agreed proportion of the settlement for their work. When you make a no win no fee claim with us your personal injury lawyer will take out insurance on your behalf that will cover all your claim costs and expenses including medical report fees, court fees and any barrister fees; so long as you comply with their terms and conditions, you won't have to pay any costs upfront, and there are no hidden surprises.

Assuming you're happy to proceed with a multiple injuries claim, we usually take cases like these on a no win no fee basis if we feel one of our specialist solicitor firms can help you.

If you do, your lawyer will take an agreed percentage of the multiple injury settlement as a fee for their services.

Anyone making a claim should take out an insurance policy to protect them from any legal expenses if they don't win. Your solicitor can arrange this for you and there are no upfront costs to pay.
