If you or a loved one suffers serious injury in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, it’s vital that you get the best legal representation possible in the form of an experienced firm of personal injury solicitors who specialise in serious injury claims.
Mooneerams serious injury solicitors in Cardiff handle only personal injury claims – and only for claimants, the people bringing the claim – never for defendants, those individuals or organisations responsible for the accident.
Why is that important? It means our focus is on helping ordinary people in Cardiff and South Wales get access to justice and receive the compensation they deserve.
In the case of serious injury claims, this also means we have individual solicitors with many years of practical experience acting for clients whose lives have been altered for the long term and securing the maximum possible compensation for them.
What’s the difference between serious injury claims and other personal injury claims?
Serious injury claims (often also referred to as ‘catastrophic injury claims’) differ from other personal injury claims in that the latter typically involve less severe injuries. Serious injuries are often complex and life-changing for both the victim of the accident and their family.
They take longer to conclude, not least because at the outset of the claim, the likely outcome of the injured person’s medical condition – known as the prognosis – is frequently impossible to predict.
Serious injuries often involve the injured accident victim undergoing long-term medical treatment, therapy and rehabilitation, whilst the claims process remains ongoing. The nature of the injuries may require longer-term care, and decisions will need to be made about the person’s work prospects.
The injured person and their family may face financial difficulties, particularly if the injured family member was the primary or sole breadwinner. This means their solicitor will need to explore the possibility of obtaining interim payments (payments on account) from the insurers of the person who caused the accident.
Only solicitors with specialist experience in serious and catastrophic injury claims are equipped with the necessary knowledge and practical skills to ensure claims of this nature are brought to a successful conclusion.

What does making a serious injury claim in Cardiff involve?
Bringing a serious injury claim in Cardiff is about more than recovering compensation alone. It is about ensuring that the injured person has access to the right support at the right time.
Depending on the circumstances, a serious injury claim may include compensation for:
- Pain, suffering and loss of amenity – the personal injury itself and how the injury affects the person’s daily life.
- Loss of earnings and future income
- Ongoing care and support
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- Adaptations to housing or vehicles
- Specialist equipment and mobility aids
Where appropriate, we can seek interim payments during the claim to help fund rehabilitation and reduce financial pressure on the injured person and their family while the case is ongoing.
Many clients worry about whether they can bring a claim, especially when the other party denies responsibility for the accident or disputes the severity of the injuries. Arranging for an appropriate specialist or specialists to provide an early expert opinion can make a significant difference in persuading the defendant’s insurers to change their approach to the claim.
It also reassures the client and their family that they are in safe, but proactive, hands.
Can catastrophic injury claims be brought on behalf of family members or loved ones?
We are sometimes asked to bring catastrophic injury claims by the partners, parents, or adult children of a loved one who is not in a position to deal with legal matters themselves, because of the severity of their injuries.
You may be reading this on behalf of someone who, for physical or mental health reasons, is unable to bring their own claim. If that’s the case, one of our team members can explain the procedure for claiming on behalf of a loved one who is unable to provide instructions.
