Making a claim
How do I make a burns injury claim?
If your life, or the life of a loved one, has been affected by a burn injury we can help.
Adjusting to life after your accident can be difficult. Depending on the severity, you may have to make significant lifestyle changes. You could need long-term medical care, be unable to care for your children, or have to make adaptations to your home. Your employment may also be impacted if you’re unable to return (at least immediately) to work. These changes can have serious consequences on you and your family, and will be considered as part of your personal injury claim.
You and your family need help to rebuild your life, so your compensation claim will also focus on your future.
As personal injury solicitors, we frequently meet clients who tell us that they were worried about approaching us to see if they had a claim, so we understand it can be daunting.

Plus, with our no win no fee policy, you won’t need to worry about solicitor fees, because if we don’t win you don’t pay.
There’s no need to suffer in silence. We’re here to help you get your life back on track and support you in every step along the way. Speak with one of our personal injury solicitors today to begin your claim process.
How much compensation?
How much compensation for a burns injury?
As with all personal injury claims, the compensation you could receive on your claim can vary. It is dependent on the severity of your injury, and what long-lasting effects you may experience as a result. If somebody is found to have been grossly negligent in their duty of care to you, you may find that the sum will be larger.
Whatever the type of injury, we always strive to produce the best result for you, so that you can get your life back on track.
