Showcasing The Talent Of Our Serious Injury Team
Sharing is caring!
There are many law firms that handle personal injury claims, but very few who have the expertise to take on cases involving serious injuries with life changing consequences.
We are talking about cases involving severe spinal injuries, catastrophic brain damage, the loss of an upper or lower limb, extensive scarring or physical deformity, sight and hearing loss and the onset of significant psychological problems including anxiety, depression, insomnia and clinically diagnosed severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
These are the sorts of injuries from which a client will never fully recover and where the role of a solicitor is not just to secure appropriate compensation, but to also ensure ready access to appropriate medical treatment and rehabilitation therapies, and to the provision of long term ‘at home’ or residential care where this is what the client and their family will ultimately need.
How Step Legal can help
By assembling a team with a proven track record in dealing with accidents victims who have sustained devastating and traumatic injuries, our lawyers have the knowledge, skills and experience needed to support clients who wish to pursue a serious injury claim.
Drawing on their expertise, our lawyers can:
- Help you to recover fair and appropriate compensation and to access an interim payment where you need financial support to tide you over while you wait for your claim to be resolved;
- Organize for you to have private surgeries and follow up treatments;
- Arrange for you to receive physical therapy and psychological counselling to aid your recovery;
- Secure you access to state of the art prosthetics and mobility aids;
- Commission home and vehicle adaptions;
- Help you to secure alternative accommodation where your current home no longer meets your needs; and
- Organize a place for you in a care facility where this is required.

Our lawyers have over fifty years of serious injury experience between them and have helped clients from all over the UK to secure their future financial security, and to access practical and emotional support through the recovery of millions of pounds in compensation payouts.

- An accident at work, including where you have sustained an industrial injury;
- A slip, trip or fall accident;
- An accident in a public place or while at a private property;

Further information
To find out more about our serious injury personal accidents compensation claims service, please contact us on 0800 1956412. We offer a free expert assessment and can usually act on a no win, no fee basis where we agree to take your claim on, which means that you can proceed without having to pay any upfront costs and with no financial risk in the event your claim is not successful.
We also offer a free claims assessment service where you already have a solicitor to deal with your case but you are unhappy with the service you are receiving and would therefore like a second opinion. This is a service that we provide on a regular basis, particularly in complex cases requiring a high degree of legal expertise, and which has recently resulted in two of our clients collectively recovering £248,000 more in compensation than their original solicitors had advised them that they would be entitled to receive.
You can read about their stories here: £175,000 recovered for a client who was told they were only entitled to £25,000 and RTA success, turning £2,000 into £100,000.
