When accidents occur, some injuries can be of a serious nature, which can lead to several problems for those involved. These include both physical and mental injuries and can have a profound impact on how people live their lives moving forward. Some of the most common serious injuries include spinal cord injuries, head injuries, amputations, serious burns, and serious medical injuries caused by clinical negligence and fatal accidents.
Head Injuries
A serious injury to the head occurs when someone is struck with severe force on the head. This injury can make it difficult for them to think clearly or impact their memory and, in some cases, can lead to a future brain injury diagnosis further down the line. In terms of injuries to the head, it can take some time and rehabilitation to see improvement.
Spinal Injuries
Severe injuries to the back or spine can impact a person's ability to move their body as normal. On occasions, these injuries can even cause paralysis, where someone loses all feeling in their arms or legs. A recent case involved our client who was part of a group taking part in a grass sledging activity. The defenders failed to provide a helmet to our client. While sledging, our client was thrown forward and landed on his head. This resulted in him suffering from a serious spinal injury. In this case, we achieved the appropriate compensation for our client. Further details can be found here.
Amputations
An amputation can have an ever-lasting impact on a person’s life. This was the case for our client who suffered a traumatic amputation as a result of an accident. Whilst residing in a care home, our client was being assisted into the shower when the door was shut onto their hand causing an amputation injury to her finger. After intimating the claim, we managed to secure our client an offer of settlement that she chose to accept. Further details can be found here.
If you suffer from a serious injury, it is crucial that you seek legal advice from a personal injury solicitor. At Calio Claims, we can provide you with the best options for getting the support and compensation you need to recover. Recently, our team acted on behalf of our client, who was a passenger on a bus. Suddenly, and without warning, the driver of the bus began to accelerate and drive erratically, causing the bus to collide with a bridge after which it landed on its side. Our client sustained multiple injuries because of this serious road traffic accident. In this case, we reached a settlement agreement in the sum of £64,000 for our client. Further details can be found here.
