What Is Classed as a Serious Injury?

If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident that wasn't your fault, you may be entitled to seek compensation. The amount of compensation will depend on your individual circumstances, including the nature of the accident and the injuries you sustained. This often begs the question, 'What is classed as a serious injury when claiming compensation?' While there is no strict legal definition, there are several factors that can lead to an injury being treated as 'serious' under the law.
