Internal injury compensation
Injuries that affect the internal organs often have the biggest impact on the quality of your life and in some instances impact your life expectancy.

No win no fee injury claims
The majority of our medical negligence and personal injury claims are handled on a no win no fee basis, or a conditional fee agreement to use its technical term. This means there is no financial risk to you.
The first step in starting your claim for compensation is to call our team or email us to tell us about your internal injury. We need to know which organs have been affected or damaged and how you got the injuries, is it an asbestos related disease or a trauma caused by a late diagnosis for example.
If your injuries were caused in an accident we’ll need to know if anyone else was involved or witnessed the incident. Most importantly, we’ll need to know how the trauma has affected your life in the short term and the outlook for your future, have you needed additional help, care or rehabilitation to go about your daily life.
Based on the information you give us our team of expert solicitors will be able to make an assessment of your claim. We can tell you how likely it will be that your claim is successful and the estimated value of your claim based on your injuries, pain and suffering and any financial loss.
When you’re dealing with internal injuries to the organs caused by either medical negligence or personal injury it is important to choose an expert solicitor who deals with these complex and emotionally challenging cases on a daily basis. A solicitor experienced in this field will be able to assess and work your case to ensure you receive the compensation rightfully yours. Your compensation should cover your lifetime needs.
