A serious injury in law is often referred to as a life changing injury – a catastrophic injury with an immediate and prolonged effect not only on the injured person but also on their family and loved ones.
Serious injuries can involve many types of injuries as every injury can effect an injured person in different ways. Typically injuries that are referred to as serious include the following but the list is not exhaustive:
Every serious injury is unique affecting the injured person’s ability to carry out “normal” activities of daily living with effects tending to be long-lasting. The injured person’s body and mind is likely to be effected requiring round the clock care, intensive rehabilitation, specialist equipment, adaptations to the home to allow the injured to lead their best life.
A serious injury that has been caused through someone else’s negligence or carelessness may entitle the injured person to claim compensation to ensure that the injured person has the financial security and access to early and targeted rehabilitation to rebuild their life and lead the best life they can with their life changing injury
