Leading UK Solicitors for Serious Injury Claims

When a serious injury changes everything, you need solicitors who truly understand the complexities of chronic pain and life-changing injuries. At FT Chronic Pain Solicitors, we've spent nearly 40 years specializing in complex personal injury cases that other firms often struggle to handle properly.

Serious Injury Claims UK

We're not just another personal injury firm. We're specialist chronic pain solicitors with intricate knowledge of conditions like Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and Fibromyalgia - conditions that are often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or undervalued by general personal injury lawyers.

Operating across England and Wales, with home visit legal services available throughout Wiltshire and beyond, we provide expert representation from London and Birmingham to Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Cardiff, Bristol, Bath, Sheffield, Newcastle and beyond.

Why We're Among the Best Serious Injury Lawyers in the UK

Real Results That Matter:

• Case transferred from another firm: Initial offer £20,000 → Final settlement over £2 million

• Construction worker CRPS case: Previous solicitor suggested £20,000 → We secured £2.4 million

• Six-figure settlements achieved for complex CRPS and Fibromyalgia cases

• Nearly 40 years of specialist experience in chronic pain claims

Client Testimonial: "After my accident left me unable to work, my previous solicitors told me to accept £20,000. FT Chronic Pain understood my CRPS diagnosis and fought for me. The £2.4 million settlement changed everything - I'm now mortgage-free and can afford the treatment I need." - Construction Worker, Stoke-on-Trent

As a small team of experts, we provide personalised and compassionate legal representation, ensuring each client receives the attention and support they deserve - something larger national firms simply cannot match.

Understanding Serious and Life-Changing Injuries

What Constitutes a Serious Injury Under UK Law?

According to the Personal Injuries Protocol and Judicial College Guidelines, serious injuries are those causing permanent or long-term impact on your life. These injuries often lead to chronic conditions requiring extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lifelong adjustments.

Compensation Ranges for Serious Injuries in the UK

Based on the Judicial College Guidelines (16th Edition) and our case experience:

Injury Type	General Damages Range	Our Recent Settlements
Severe CRPS/Chronic Pain	£80,000 - £150,000	£2.4 million total (including future losses)
Multiple Fractures/Polytrauma	£50,000 - £100,000+	Six-figure settlements achieved
Fibromyalgia (Severe)	£45,000 - £80,000	Six-figure total compensation
Spinal Injuries (Serious)	£40,000 - £160,000	Substantial settlements with care costs
Orthopaedic Injuries (Complex)	£25,000 - £75,000	Workplace case with full rehabilitation
Psychological Trauma/PTSD	£20,000 - £60,000	Often additional to physical injuries

Note: Total compensation includes general damages plus special damages (lost earnings, care costs, medical expenses, etc.)

Types of Serious Injuries We Handle

Catastrophic Physical Injuries:

• Spinal injuries with life-altering consequences

• Polytrauma - multiple severe injuries requiring meticulous approach

• Amputations - either immediate or later (such as following CRPS diagnosis)

• Multiple orthopaedic injuries from workplace and road traffic accidents

• Crush injuries leading to complex nerve damage and chronic pain

Chronic Pain Conditions - Our Speciality:

• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS Type I and Type II/Causalgia)

• Fibromyalgia following trauma

• Somatoform disorders

• Functional neurological disorders

• Chronic pain syndromes that develop after accidents

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) - Our Core Expertise

Leading CRPS Solicitors in the UK

CRPS is one of the most challenging conditions to prove in personal injury claims. Insurance companies often dispute CRPS diagnoses, attempting to sidestep the Budapest Criteria or suggest alternative diagnoses like somatoform disorders. This is where our specialist knowledge becomes invaluable.

Understanding CRPS Claims

CRPS Type I occurs without confirmed nerve injury, while CRPS Type II (Causalgia) follows a nerve injury. Both can develop after:

• Crush injuries

• Fractures

• Workplace accidents

• Road traffic accidents

• Medical procedures

Our CRPS Case Success

Real Case Study - Workplace Crush Injury Leading to CRPS: Our client's right hand was trapped between tread plates while working as a tyre builder. He developed CRPS Type II with severe pain and secondary depression. Unable to return to work, he and his family faced financial ruin.

• Previous solicitors: Large national practice, suggested £20,000 settlement

• Our result: £2.4 million secured after four-year battle

• Key achievements: 

  • Immediate interim payments to prevent bankruptcy

  • Expert medical evidence from nationally recognised pain teams

  • Successfully countered defence attempts to dispute CRPS diagnosis

  • Client now lives mortgage-free in a beautiful home

The complexity meant that without chronic pain expertise, this claim would have settled for less than 1% of its true value.

Fibromyalgia Claims - Specialist Legal Expertise

Expert Fibromyalgia Solicitors

Fibromyalgia often develops after traumatic accidents, yet many solicitors encourage clients to settle for simple whiplash compensation. According to research by Fibromyalgia Action UK, trauma is a recognized trigger for the condition. At FT Chronic Pain Solicitors, we recognise Fibromyalgia as a serious, life-changing condition requiring specialist representation.

Fibromyalgia Case Success

Real Case Study - Road Traffic Accident: Following a serious collision (vehicle written off), our client developed Fibromyalgia. The defendant argued symptoms weren't accident-related, offering incredibly low compensation.

• Challenge: Defendant claimed somatoform disorder, not accident-related Fibromyalgia

• Our approach: Comprehensive medical evidence demonstrating clear causation

• Result: Six-figure settlement achieved through joint settlement meeting

Without our chronic pain expertise, this claim would likely have settled at the whiplash stage for less than £10,000, leaving the family in financial difficulty.

Orthopaedic Injury Claim Solicitors - Comprehensive Support

Specialist Orthopaedic Injury Representation

Our decades of experience mean we've handled extensive orthopaedic injury claims, from simple fractures to complex multiple injuries. We work alongside medical professionals, rehabilitation specialists, and care experts to secure substantial settlements.

Types of Fractures and Compensation Ranges:

• Simple fractures: £5,000 - £15,000

• Complex/compound fractures: £15,000 - £50,000

• Multiple fractures: £50,000 - £100,000+

• Fractures with complications: £25,000 - £75,000

Making a Broken Bone Accident Claim - What You Need to Know

If you've suffered a broken bone in an accident that wasn't your fault:

1. Seek immediate medical attention - Get X-rays and proper diagnosis

2. Document the fracture - Keep all medical records

3. Report the incident - Accident book, RIDDOR if at work

4. Contact specialist solicitors - We understand fracture complications

5. Begin rehabilitation - We can arrange interim payments for treatment

Claim for Multiple Fractures UK: Compensation Examples and Process

Real Example - Polytrauma Workplace Accident: Our client sustained multiple orthopaedic injuries including:

• Pelvic fractures

• Multiple rib fractures

• Bilateral leg fractures

• Shoulder dislocation

Result: Substantial six-figure settlement covering:

• Extensive medical treatment

• 18 months of rehabilitation

• Lost earnings for 2 years

• Future care requirements

• Home and vehicle adaptations

Amputation Compensation Claims UK - Expert Amputee Injury Solicitors

Amputee Injury Solicitors in the UK - Our Expertise
