About Us

At Major Trauma Lawyers, we are a specialist division of the ASD group, a legal firm that has been at the forefront of personal injury law since 1984. While the ASD group has proudly served over 20,000 clients, our team at Major Trauma Lawyers is exclusively dedicated to the unique and complex needs of individuals who have suffered serious and life-changing injuries.

We understand that a major injury is not just a legal case—it’s a life-altering event. Our mission is to provide more than just legal representation; we offer a compassionate and comprehensive service designed to help you and your family rebuild your lives.

While our core offices are based in Sheffield, our team routinely conducts home visits and provides expert representation to major trauma clients across all of England and Wales, ensuring you always have access to expert support, wherever you are.

Our team is led by two of the UK’s most experienced serious injury solicitors, Richard Meggitt and Ralph Clark. With a combined experience of over 50 years, they have successfully handled more than 1,000 high-value cases, including some of the UK’s most complex serious injury claims. Our firm’s long-standing history is a testament to our stability, expertise, and unwavering commitment to our clients’ best interests.

Rehabilitation at the Heart of Our Work

We believe that your recovery should not be delayed by the legal process. In accordance with the 2015 Rehabilitation Code, we actively work with insurers and rehabilitation providers to ensure you receive the immediate treatment and support you need. We can help arrange services such as:

  • Immediate Needs Assessments: A prompt evaluation of your specific care requirements.
  • Case Management: The coordination of all your medical, therapeutic, and support services.
  • Specialist Treatment: Access to the best possible medical and rehabilitation providers.

Our focus is on maximizing your functional recovery and helping you get your life back on track as soon as possible, with the cost of these services often being funded by the defendant’s insurers.

Committed to Your Community

Our dedication to your well-being extends far beyond securing compensation. We are proud to partner with leading community organizations to ensure you have access to the best possible care and support.

Sheffield Children’s Hospital and the Major Trauma Support Partnership (MTSP): We are honoured to be an accredited member of the Major Trauma Support Partnership (MTSP), working in close collaboration with Sheffield Children’s Hospital. As a trusted partner, we provide a free legal advice service to patients and their families who are referred to us directly by the hospital.

We are also a long-term chosen charity, actively fundraising and supporting their vital work in the community. Our commitment through the MTSP is to ensure a holistic approach to recovery and well-being for the children and families we serve.
