With more than 400,000 people in the UK making whiplash compensation claims every year, claims solicitors have plenty of work on their plates. But if you’re the victim of a more serious accident such as a spinal injury, head injury or serious motorcycle accident, your situation could be far more complex than a simple case of whiplash. That means you need a solicitor who has the ability to dedicate enough time to your claim to ensure you get the best possible result. In these cases, an ordinary high street solicitor will be hard pushed to give your case the time and attention it deserves, purely because their caseload is so high. So you need the services of a specialist injury solicitor.

Time for you

Specialist solicitors have the time to dedicate their attentions to your cause because they take on fewer cases. They understand through experience the complex nature of serious injury cases and how much more time they can take to resolve successfully. But it’s not just a matter of having the time to dedicate to your case – they also have the necessary experience too.

Take, for example, spinal injuries. If you’ve been the victim of an accident that wasn’t your fault that has resulted in a serious spinal injury, the consequences can last a lifetime. Most high street solicitors deal with ‘short-term’ injuries such as whiplash, where the injury has a clearly defined pattern and a predictable timescale for recovery. The impact of a whiplash injury on the victim’s life is also far less than a serious spinal injury. A specialist solicitor will understand that a spinal injury has far reaching and life-long effects, and the compensation the victim receives has to reflect the serious nature of the injury and its impact on their life.

Financial and practical help

Specialist solicitors can also help with the practical aspects of serious injury cases. Victims who suffer serious injuries need much more long-term care, and unfortunately some of that care doesn’t come cheap. Once liability has been admitted, it can still take some time for the final settlement to be decided when the victim makes a spinal injury claim.

In the meantime, the victim still has immediate needs that have to be addressed. By arranging for an interim payment (an ‘advance’ on the final settlement amount), those needs can be dealt with quickly through the solicitor’s network of contacts. That could be anything from specialist medical treatment through to remodelling a victim’s home to cater for their needs, such as wheelchair access.

Specialist solicitors also ensure that they make extra time to talk to victims and their families so that everyone knows what’s happening throughout the process. Rather than adding to the worry, this can often help to set a victim’s mind at rest that they have the support of professionals who have their interest at heart. In fact, many victims become personal friends with their specialist solicitors, forging bonds that last for years even after the case has been resolved.

So if you or a loved one has been involved in an accident, talk to a specialist solicitor who can help with your spinal injury claim. They’ll understand your situation and work hard to make sure that you get the compensation and support.
