The Serious Injury department at HCC Solicitors specialises in representing individuals and families affected by catastrophic and life-changing injuries, including brain injury, spinal injury, amputations, and fatal injuries. Their "Family First" philosophy ensures their approach to individuals and families is bespoke and tailored to their specific needs.
The department is known for initiating legal support at the earliest possible stage, often while clients are still in hospital, to ensure rapid access to rehabilitation, interim payments, and long-term care. They are trusted by national charities like Spinal Injuries Association, the Child Brain Injury Trust, the Amputation Foundation and Victim Support.
The department specialises in injuries caused by a range of incidents, including road traffic collisions, workplace incidents, incidents in public places, and criminal and terror incidents. They also have vast experience in representing families at inquests, providing guidance and ensuring investigations are thorough. In addition, the department has a Client Support Team, offering practical support on a range of issues, such as benefits, initial needs assessments, and liaising with treating teams, social services and the DWP.
Recent case highlights include securing a £13 million settlement in a spinal injury claim following a construction workplace incident, and £6.5 million for a motorcyclist who suffered severe orthopaedic injuries in a road traffic collision.
