How We Can Help Your Family 

Serious Injury Claims 

If your child has suffered a serious or catastrophic injury due to an incident, such as a road incident or a fall, we help you secure the compensation your child will need to access expert care and support. 

Fatal Incident Claims 

In the tragic event that an avoidable incident, such as a road incident or fall, has caused the loss of your child, our experts can help support and guide you to uncover the truth, through inquest representation, and seek justice through a civil claim.  

Inquest Representation

In addition to helping support and guide you through your fatal incident claim, we can represent you at any inquest that is held into the death of your child. Inquests can be daunting as well as highly emotional. That is why our experts will be there to support you every step of the way.

Court of Protection Services 

Our dedicated Court of Protection team can help manage and protect your child’s compensation, ensuring they have access to all of the treatment, rehabilitation and aids and equipment that they need for the rest of their lives.  

Your First Step Towards Specialist Support 

We know it can feel overwhelming to take that first step. However, our compassionate experts are on hand to have a no obligation chat with you, and answer any questions you may have. We will listen to your story, explain your options clearly, and help you plan a way forward that puts your child’s best interests first.

Case Study: Daniel’s Road to Recovery – A Story of Resilience and Justice

Twelve-year-old Daniel* was cycling home from school on a quiet afternoon when his life changed in an instant. A vehicle struck him at a junction, throwing him from his bike and leaving him with a serious head injury. The days that followed were filled with uncertainty, fear, and countless hospital visits for Daniel and his family.

Turning to HCC Solicitors

As the family struggled to come to terms with the incident, they turned to HCC Solicitors for help. From the outset, the case appeared challenging. Initial assessments suggested that the chances of a successful claim were less than 50%. The reconstruction evidence was not expected to support Daniel’s claim, and the insurers of the driver questioned whether he was a fault.

But at HCC Solicitors, we saw things more than just odds. We saw a young boy whose future had been disrupted and a family in need of support. We launched a thorough investigation, securing crucial CCTV footage that allowed us to estimate the vehicle’s speed at the time of the collision. Despite the early doubts, our legal team built a compelling argument which we put to the insurers of the vehicle at fault. They responded with a offer to settle the case, marking a significant victory in a difficult case.

Rebuilding Through Rehabilitation

Beyond the negotiations, our team of experts ensured Daniel’s recovery was at the heart of their efforts. We instructed a dedicated case manager who conducted a comprehensive assessment, including:

  • Educational reports to understand the impact on Daniel’s learning
  • Physiotherapy to aid his physical recovery
  • Neuropsychological assessments to evaluate cognitive effects
  • Occupational therapy to support daily functioning

Thanks to the legal settlement, Daniel now has access to the therapies and support he needs to rebuild his life. The funds secured will help him engage with the recommended treatments and continue his education with the right support in place.

A Future with Support and Security

Today, Daniel is making steady progress. His journey is far from over, but with the help of his family, medical professionals, and the unwavering support of our team at HCC Solicitors, he’s moving forward, stronger and more hopeful than ever.

5* Review - Review Solicitors

They were friendly, very approachable, professional, demonstrated great empathy and supported both my wife and I through every step of the process. Especially when some of the information that had to be relayed by them to us was very difficult to hear.
