SERIOUS INJURY CLAIMS IN LONDON

Catastrophic injuries can occur in many ways. Have you suffered a serious injury at work or due to a fall or perhaps an assault that has left you disabled?

Serious injury claims: Key UK & London statistics

Serious injuries don’t just affect your health, they change your entire life. Here are some important UK-specific statistics that underline why expert help is essential:

• Road traffic accidents: TfL’s data indicates that 3,710 people in London were killed or seriously injured (KSI) in 2023, with a total of 94 fatalities.
• Workplace injuries: According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), 135 workers were killed in work-related incidents in 2022/23, while 561,000 workers sustained non-fatal injuries, many of which were serious enough to require compensation claims in the UK.
• Claim success: Research from the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) suggests that claimants in the UK with legal representation typically receive settlements up to three times higher than those without, often the difference between £10,000 and £30,000 or more.
• Legal outcomes: Around 97% of personal injury claims in the UK settle before reaching court, highlighting the importance of skilled negotiation to secure fair compensation.

These figures show how common serious injuries are and why pursuing a claim with professional support can make all the difference.

What counts as a serious injury?

Serious injuries often have long-lasting or permanent effects, such as:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Spinal cord damage
• Loss of limbs
• Severe fractures or burns
• Chronic pain or permanent disability

If you’ve suffered any of these due to someone else’s negligence, you could be entitled to compensation. Our team is here to assess your case and fight for your rights.
