If you or a family member has experienced major trauma from an accident, such as fractures, limb loss, or head injuries, Moore Barlow is here to help.
Although it can be devastating for you and your family, it is important to know that help and support is available. Our specialist team can provide comprehensive legal support around making a legal claim, securing compensation and helping you access the very best rehabilitation services at the earliest opportunity. Our lawyers assist clients who have experienced the most serious major trauma injuries and will advise and guide you through the legal process as well as the various health and social care pathways.
Making sure you get the best possible outcome is our priority. This is not limited to a financial settlement, but also making sure you or your family member has a suitable rehabilitation programme. Whilst there is a high level of care and support provided to inpatients at major trauma centres, this can often reduce following discharge due to the strain on statutory and NHS services.

How we help you and your family
When someone experiences a major trauma injury they will often go through a number of stages on their journey to recovery. Their goals can vary, but they will include a return to independence, work, or an improved quality of life. In the UK we’re lucky enough to have a national health service that provides high-levels of support during these early stages of dealing with an injury.
Unfortunately, due to the limited funding of statutory services, this support often drops off when someone has been discharged. That’s where Moore Barlow can help. Watch to find out how.
Far more than legal support
By making a legal claim, we can access private insurer funding to ensure the appropriate level of rehabilitation, care and support continues after discharge.
The sooner we are involved, the sooner we can help you get the level of support you or your family member needs to give you the best chance of recovery.
We are one of the very few major trauma teams in the UK to provide holistic support that covers a wide range of specialist areas. You can feel confident that every legal need will be taken care of, and nothing will be missed. Many of these services may be new to you, so we will explain what will happen, step by step. Our comprehensive package of support is focussed on your needs.
What is a major trauma injury?
Major trauma is a serious injury, or multiple injuries, that could result in a life-changing disability. If someone involved in an accident is assessed as a major trauma patient, they are taken directly to a major trauma centre for urgent treatment. Major trauma centres are staffed by multi-disciplinary teams, who are trained to deal with all different types of injuries including, but not limited to, complex musculoskeletal injury, brain injury, spinal cord injury and amputations.
What is a major trauma claim?
A major trauma claim refers to a compensation claim made by an individual who has suffered a severe injury or trauma, such as a spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or amputation due to someone else’s negligence. These claims typically involve a financial settlement that covers the costs and impact that the injury has had on the individual’s life, now and into the future, including significant medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term rehabilitation and care needs.
