Catastrophic injury

A common perception is that high-value claims represent a favourable return for individuals and their solicitors, with insurers/clients seen as all too willing to 'buy off' the risk, even on cases with dubious legal merit. BLM is frequently instructed in the days following an accident, before a claim is even intimated, so that investigations can commence immediately. Through early involvement, BLM is often able to discourage unmeritorious claims from being pursued and where not possible, the case is expedited for trial.

Where a genuine liability is established, BLM works with claimants and their representatives from the outset to ensure a rapid and efficient resolution to the case. Adopting a pragmatic approach via ongoing dialogue and the effective use of rehabilitation, BLM is able to drive the case forward to secure a favourable outcome to its insurers/clients.

Collectively our experienced teams co-ordinate knowledge and information sharing on case law, tactics, experts, practice area trends and emerging issues. All of our lead partners are individually nominated by major insurers to handle their catastrophic injury claims nationally. Their reputation as catastrophic injury specialists is a reflection of their broad experience in handling EL, PL, clinical negligence and motor cases involving spinal injury, severe brain damage, loss of limb and loss of sight, and of their ability to project manage these claims effectively.
