Complex Injury Claims

Keoghs’ Complex Injury Claims team provides a proactive, practical and cost-effective service for handling high value claims.  This is an area where real expertise, experience and sensitivity are essential.  The team therefore includes some of Keoghs’ most experienced partners and lawyers. 

We advise on claims involving amputations, brain injuries, multiple injuries, serious spinal injuries and also chronic pain syndromes e.g. fibromyalgia and regional pain syndrome.  Last year, the team was established as the firm’s centre of excellence for handling claims involving chronic pain syndrome and related disorders.  As well as developing innovative processes and methodologies for improving the handling of such claims, the team embarked on a programme of awareness-raising amongst clients.

Our approach to all types of complex injury claim is to set a target timescale for resolving the case at the outset.  Wherever possible we encourage a consensual approach and seek to engage the claimant and their advisers as early in the process as possible.  We are great advocates of joint settlement meetings, which are conducted by our partners rather than counsel wherever possible, and we also look to use mediation wherever appropriate.  As a result of our approach, we have developed good working relationships with many of the larger claimant firms.

We also enjoy excellent relationships with experts on matters such as rehabilitation and pain management, and we keep up to date with the latest advances in these areas.
