Expert Serious Injury Solicitors
Serious injury claims arise when an accident leaves someone facing lasting or life changing consequences. In an instant, everyday routines can be replaced by hospital appointments, rehabilitation and uncertainty about the future. Work may no longer be possible. Independence can feel fragile.

We understand that bringing a serious injury compensation claim is not simply about financial recovery. It is about securing the treatment, care, rehabilitation and long term stability that allow you to rebuild your life with confidence.

When An Injury Changes Your Life
Some injuries heal within weeks. Others leave lasting consequences that affect every part of daily life.
Serious injuries often involve permanent disability, ongoing pain, reduced mobility, cognitive changes or the need for continuous care. Many clients come to us after road traffic accidents, accidents at work, medical negligence, or other incidents caused by someone else’s negligence.
When an injury prevents you from returning to work, requires adaptations to your home, or results in lifelong treatment, the financial impact can be significant. A carefully prepared serious injury claim can help protect your future and provide the support you need.
What Is A Serious Injury?
A serious injury is one that has a substantial and long term impact on a person’s physical or psychological health. It is sometimes described as a catastrophic injury, although not every serious injury is catastrophic.
Examples include:
- Brain injuries
- Spinal injuries
- Amputations
- Severe orthopaedic injuries
- Serious burns
- Injuries causing chronic pain or permanent disability
By contrast, minor injuries such as soft tissue strains or minor fractures usually heal within a predictable timeframe and do not lead to lasting impairment.
If you are unsure whether your injury meets the threshold, we can assess your circumstances and advise you honestly. The key factor is the lasting effect on your life.

How Serious Injury Claims Are Different
A serious injury compensation claim is more complex than a standard personal injury claim.
The long term consequences must be properly assessed. This often involves detailed medical evidence, expert reports and a careful review of future needs. Compensation may need to cover decades of treatment, care and loss of earnings.
Interim payments can sometimes be secured during the claim to help with urgent rehabilitation, specialist equipment or adapted accommodation. The aim is to ensure that immediate needs are met while the wider claim is progressed.
Serious injury solicitors must look beyond the initial accident and consider the full impact on your health, career, independence and family life.
That is the approach we take at Tylers Solicitors.
Types Of Serious Injury Claims We Handle
We represent clients in a wide range of serious injury claims, including those arising from:
- Road traffic accidents
- Accidents at work, including industrial incidents and construction accidents
- Clinical negligence and misdiagnosis
- Public liability accidents
We also act in cases involving specific life changing injuries such as head injuries, spinal cord injuries and amputations, where specialist evidence is essential.
If your injury was caused by someone ese’s negligence, whether on the road, in the workplace or in a medical setting, you may be entitled to pursue an injury compensation claim.
What Compensation Can Cover
Compensation in serious injury claims is designed to place you, as far as possible, in the position you would have been in had the injury not occurred.
This can include:
- Compensation for pain and suffering and the loss of amenity
- Past and future loss of earnings
- The cost of care and assistance
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation
- Specialist equipment and mobility aids
- Adaptations to your home or alternative accommodation
- Travel expenses related to treatment
If you would like an initial indication of potential value, our personal injury claim calculator can provide a rough estimate of your injury compensation based on the Judicial College Guidelines. This estimate relates to your injury only and does not include additional out of pocket expenses, which may be claimed separately. It should be used as a guide and does not replace legal advice.
Serious Injury Claims Calculator
To use our serious injury claims calculator, select the category that best reflects your injury and indicate how it has affected you. Based on the information you provide, the calculator will generate a guideline estimate of your injury compensation using the JCG (Judicial College Guidelines). This estimate relates to your injury only and does not include additional out of pocket expenses, which may be claimed separately.
Once you receive your result, you can submit your details through the enquiry form if you would like us to review your circumstances. Any information you share is treated in confidence, and we will advise you clearly on the practical next steps available.

Time Limits For Serious Injury Claims
In most cases, you have three years to start a personal injury claim. This time limit usually runs from the date of the accident or from the date you first became aware that your injury was linked to negligence.
Different rules can apply for children and for people who lack mental capacity. In those situations, the three year time limit may not begin immediately.
Because serious injury claims often require extensive preparation, it is sensible to seek legal advice as early as possible.
No Win No Fee & Conditional Fee Agreements
Many serious injury claims are funded through a Conditional Fee Agreement, commonly known as a No Win No Fee arrangement.
Under this agreement, you do not pay legal fees upfront. If the claim is unsuccessful, you do not pay our legal fees. If the claim succeeds, a success fee is deducted from your compensation, subject to legal limits.
We will explain funding clearly at the outset so you understand the costs and risks before proceeding.
