Frequently asked questions
With our specialised expertise in Personal Injury claims, we are able to provide clients with the best possible advice and support for a wide range of services, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve.
What is considered a Major Trauma or Catastrophic Injury case?
A Major Trauma or Catastrophic Injury profoundly alters a person’s life, requiring long-term care and adaptation. This typically includes Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), Spinal Cord Injuries, severe amputations, and complex multiple fractures. We focus exclusively on multi-track cases where the damages are substantial and complex.
How long will a Major Trauma claim take to settle?
Due to the complexity of the injuries and the need to assess long-term prognosis, Major Trauma cases typically take 2 to 4 years to settle. Our focus during this time is on securing regular interim payments to meet your ongoing care needs.
What is APIL, and why is APIL accreditation important?
APIL (Association of Personal Injury Lawyers) is a national body dedicated to improving the law for accident victims. Our firm is an APIL Accredited Practice. Additionally, Richard Meggitt is an APIL Accredited Senior Litigator, demonstrating recognized, high-level expertise in complex injury cases.
Do I need to live near your office to instruct Major Trauma Lawyers?
Absolutely not. While our senior solicitors, Richard Meggitt and Ralph Clark, are based in our offices, we successfully represent seriously injured clients nationwide. We are committed to conducting personal home visits throughout the life of your case, and utilise video conferencing for all other meetings.
What is the role of the medical expert in my claim?
Medical experts in a legal claim are not for treatment; their sole role is to provide an independent opinion on your condition and future prognosis. We instruct leading specialists whose reports form the foundation of your claim’s valuation, quantifying your long-term needs for care, therapy, and equipment.
