Serious Injury Claims

A serious injury can have a profound and life-changing impact, not only on the individual but also on their loved ones. At Murria, we understand that no two cases are the same, and each client’s experience is unique. Our approach is personal and tailored, ensuring that you receive the care and support you need during such a challenging time.

When someone suffers a serious injury, it often affects their ability to work, live independently, or engage in daily activities. Families, too, feel the ripple effects—whether it’s a spouse, parent, child, or dependant, the emotional and financial strain can be overwhelming. That’s why we consider not only your individual needs but also those of your family, implementing tailored support packages to ease the burden as much as possible.

What is a Serious Injury?

While there is no strict legal definition in the UK, a serious injury generally refers to any injury that significantly affects an individual’s health, requires urgent medical attention, or has long-term or permanent consequences. These injuries often involve surgery, extended hospital stays, or the inability to return to normal work or everyday life. Tragically, some injuries may result in loss of life within 30 days of the accident or longer.

Our dedicated team has extensive experience handling serious injury claims, advocating for clients facing some of the most life-altering challenges.

Examples of Serious Injuries

We specialise in claims for a wide range of serious and life-changing injuries, including but not limited to:

  • Permanent disabilities: Such as paralysis or loss of limbs, which can drastically alter day-to-day living.
  • Severe burns: Including third-degree burns that damage deep layers of skin and may require reconstructive surgery.
  • Damage to vital organs: Including the heart, lungs, liver, or kidneys, which can severely impact long-term health.
  • Brain and spinal cord injuries: Often leading to cognitive impairment, paralysis, or other significant disabilities.
  • Amputations: Including the loss of a limb or part of a limb due to trauma or medical necessity.
  • Serious internal injuries: Such as internal bleeding or damage to critical organs.
