What our clients say about us
Examples of serious accidents from a road traffic collision:
Sternum fracture
Also known as the breastbone, the sternum is a large bone located in the middle of the chest. It helps to protect vital organs and links the rib bones. A sternum fracture can be painful, with typical symptoms including difficulty breathing, pain when breathing, coughing or laughing, and discomfort when lifting or moving items. A more severe fracture could cause damage to the lungs, and surgery could be required.
Other fractures that are considered serious include thigh or pelvis fractures.
Broken bones
Serious broken bones injuries include broken ribs, neck, or spine.
Severe hip pain
Severe hip pain could make walking painful and uncomfortable, affecting your everyday life.

The Process Of Making A Serious Accident Claim
At Capital Lawyers we are expert personal injury lawyers, so we ensure the process of making a claim easy.
We discuss your case in detail and will take you through the process step by step. To help move your case along more quickly, it’s helpful to collect as much information about the accident as possible, including contact details and statements from witnesses, notes from the accident, including the weather conditions, and photographs of the scene. Where possible, you should also have the driver’s details. If the driver fled the scene, the police should have been called.
What’s usually covered by compensation?
The amount of compensation you will be entitled to typically depends on how badly you have been affected by the accident. Factors that will be taken into consideration include the type and severity of the injury, the financial implications, and how long it takes to recover.
Other considerations include:
- The cost of any treatment
- Travel costs for any hospital appointments
- The cost of any care you have had to receive due to the accident
- Loss of earnings due to time off work or any impacts on your job and prospects
- Whether you were at all to blame for the accident. For instance, if you weren’t wearing a seatbelt, that may have contributed to the severity of your injuries even if the accident wasn’t your fault.
If you’ve been involved in a serious accident, the implications on your physical, emotional, and financial health are likely to be more severe. We understand that claimants who have sustained serious injuries may be struggling with pain and shock, and we offer a compassionate and accessible service to ensure a stress-free legal process.
