Free Home and Hospital Visits: Nationwide Service
At Major Trauma Lawyers, we remove the burden of travel during a crisis. We commit that every catastrophic injury claim across England and Wales is personally managed by a senior solicitor—Richard Meggitt, Ralph Clark, or Christopher Chappell—who will come to you, free of charge.
The home or hospital visit is not just a courtesy; it is a vital part of our legal strategy and rehabilitation assessment. It ensures:
- Stress Reduction: You and your family can focus entirely on recovery, not on the logistics of travel.If you are in Sheffield or surrounding counties like Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Nottingham, we also offer a home visit, so you can speak directly to a professional shortly after making a claim.
- Accurate Assessment: The solicitor leading your case gains a firsthand understanding of your injuries and care needs, guaranteeing the legal evidence is robust.
- Environment Understanding: We observe the challenges you face daily, which is crucial for instructing the Accommodation Expert and securing immediate home adaptations.

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.
