Catastrophic Injuries

Specialist catastrophic injury claim solicitors

If you have unfortunately suffered from a serious injury you need a catastrophic injury claim specialist to fight your case. Our serious accident solicitors are highly experienced in helping victims of injuries in particular those with complex, multiple injury claims.

We act for clients locally, nationally, and internationally in claims involving hundreds of thousands to millions of pounds in damages.

Our catastrophic injury solicitors understand the effects that a serious injury can have on your home, your working life and above all your finances. We will deal quickly, sympathetically, and professionally with your catastrophic injury claim making the process as straightforward as we can. Our aim is to get you the maximum compensation as quickly as we can.

We understand that if you have suffered a very serious, life-changing injury there is a huge amount to cope with and fresh challenges every day. Over the years we have recovered tens of millions of pounds in compensation as a result of our thoroughness and imagination in terms of claiming every penny in losses and expenses to which our clients are entitled. Life-changing injuries deserve life-changing settlements.

We offer a highly specialised and highly personal service dealing with all aspects of your claim. If you need a personal injury trust so that you can continue to receive means-tested benefits we can set that up. If you wish to buy and adapt a house we can deal with the legal aspects of that. If you are unable to manage your financial affairs as a result of your injuries we can act as a Court of Protection appointed deputy. If you have any legal expenses insurance your insurers will probably agree to pay for our services. Alternatively, we can offer you a “no win, no fee” agreement with no hidden charges.

You need specialist serious accident lawyers with a proven track record to deal with the complicated medical and legal issues which arise in these severe injury claims. Catastrophic injury claims that Hart Brown has successfully dealt with include:

  • £1.6 million damages for brain damage following a fall from a balcony

Partner, Head of Personal Injury & Clinical Negligence

Gerard Sanders

Gerard qualified with a large regional firm in 1991. Since 1995 he has specialised exclusively on claimant personal injury work. More recently he has focused on complex higher value clinical negligence and personal injury claims, achieving seven figure settlements in personal injury cases involving amputation, multiple orthopaedic injuries and head injuries.

His greatest success has been winning the high profile case of Delaney-v-The Secretary of State for Transport where after almost 9 years of litigation involving two Court of Appeal hearings and an application to the Supreme Court he was finally able to establish that the Motor Insurers’ Bureau Agreement was incompatible with EEC law. As a direct result of the decision in this case the agreement has had to be amended to the benefit of many future victims of uninsured drivers.

Gerard is a member of the Law Society’s Personal Injury Panel and he appears in the latest Legal 500 rankings in the fields of personal injury and clinical negligence.

Gerard’s other professional qualifications include a Diplome D’Etudes Juridiques Francaises from Strasbourg University.

What do people say about Gerard?

“I have the highest regard for you and your company.” – Dr Philip Steadman , Consultant Psychiatrist.

“He is a pleasure to work with and always gains the absolute best outcome for those who instruct him. He is highly responsive and he has an eye for detail with a sensible overview of the global issues.” – Colin McDevitt, Barrister, 3 Paper Buildings.

“I think that is an excellent outcome!. You have phenomenal negotiation skills. I work with insurers every day and to say the very least they are a challenge!” – client.

“It has been an unbelievably difficult time over the past few years. The decision to have my leg amputated was not particularly easy, nor was the rehabilitation. To do all of that whilst worrying about my case would have quite simply been overwhelming. Having you there meant that I had none of that worry. I have always known as I was in incredibly good hands and that I had nothing to be concerned about… You have made a unfathomably difficult situation immeasurably easier, and I will be forever grateful to you.” – client.
