Complex Injury Compensation Claim
If you suffer from a complex injury that was not your own fault, you can claim compensation to cover the costs you incur through your injury. To learn more about complex injury cases please read on.
A complex injury is a step beyond a serious injury. While serious injuries might include a broken leg or an allergic reaction to medication, a complex injury usually requires more than one serious injury. The exception to the rule is a brain injury, which is always complex by its nature. NICE record that complex injuries or major traumas cost the NHS between 3.3 and 3.7 billion each year1. Complex injuries do happen, and when they do it is important to contact our personal injury solicitors who fight for your rights on your behalf. We offer a no win, no fee service, so you don’t pay a penny until we win your case. Our solicitors will listen to what has happened to you, answer all of your questions and give you free and impartial advice about your injury matter.

What might cause a complex injury?
You can receive a complex injury in a number of ways, but you are only entitled to claim compensation if the injury was no fault of your own, or limited fault of your own. A complex injury could be an arm so badly broken with multiple fractures that it leads to eventual amputation or could be several concurrent injuries sustained after a road traffic accident. An injury becomes complex if the surgery fails, or if it requires multiple ongoing medical operations to fix the issue.
The more serious injuries you acquire at the same time, the more you will need the support and guidance of a team of personal injury specialists who can talk you through your options and represent you in court.
What is a complex injury?
Examples of complex injuries include:
- Multiple injuries caused by a vehicular accident
- Health problems sustained through work, such as trips and falling from heights
- Medical negligence
- Simultaneous fractures throughout the body
- Spinal cord and neck/head injuries
- Organ damage
- Amputations
- Any injury that requires serious ongoing medical care with no guarantee that you will be able to resume your normal activities
How to make a claim for a complex injury
The first step is to hire a professional personal injury solicitor to help you. Our experienced and friendly team of solicitors will talk you through the whole process starting with a personal consultation with you. Once they know the depth of your injuries, they can gather evidence, speak to witnesses, and file the paperwork.
After a judge decides who is to blame in your case, our personal injury solicitors will enter negotiations with the third party’s solicitors to help you get compensation for your injury.
How much compensation do you get for a complex injury in the UK?
The situation and costs are different for each person. It is impossible to name a price without knowing the full extent of your injuries. Speak to our No Win No Fee personal injury solicitors to discuss your case specifically. They are experienced in these cases and can give you an educated guess. We will ensure that you have free, impartial advice about claiming compensation.
Your claim value is impacted by how bad the injury is, how much it interrupts your life, how much evidence there is. If, for example, you can no longer work because of your injury, your claim will include that extra income loss.
