Understanding crush injuries
Crush injuries range from minor bruising to life-threatening trauma. The damage often goes far deeper than what's visible on the surface, and complications can develop days or weeks later.
Crushing force shatters bones in hands, feet, limbs, and pelvis. Multiple fractures often need surgery and months of rehabilitation.
When the torso gets crushed, organs can rupture. Internal bleeding requires emergency surgery and can be life-threatening.
Compressed nerves cause numbness, tingling, or complete loss of movement. Some nerve damage is permanent.
Swelling inside muscle compartments cuts off blood supply. Without urgent treatment, muscles and tissues start dying from the inside.
Severely crushed limbs sometimes cannot be saved. Amputation claims cover the life-changing impact on your independence.
Flashbacks, anxiety, and depression hit just as hard as the physical injuries. The mental impact deserves real compensation too.
1 If your claim succeeds, a success fee of 42% incl. VAT will be charged. If you cancel after the 14-day cancellation period, a cancellation fee may apply.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about making a crush injury claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
If someone else's negligence caused your crush injury, whether at work, on the road, or in a public place, you deserve compensation. Crush injuries leave you dealing with severe pain, time off work, and mounting medical bills.
We handle crush injury claims every day and know exactly how to build your case. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
You absolutely can claim if your crush injury happened because your employer failed to provide proper safety equipment, training, or maintained machinery. Workplace crush trauma compensation covers your pain, medical costs, and lost wages whilst you recover. Call us on 0333 006 8282 and we'll talk you through the next step.
Compensation depends entirely on the severity of your injuries and their impact on your life. A crushed finger claim won't match severe crush trauma to your spine or brain. Wrist injuries can be worth up to £8,160, while serious hip or pelvis injuries range from £24,950 to £36,770. You can also claim for lost earnings and medical costs.
Yes, you can still claim even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by the percentage you were to blame, but you won't lose everything. We'll fight to minimise any reduction and ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
Crush injuries can trigger serious complications including compartment syndrome, kidney failure from crushed muscle tissue, hypovolemic shock from blood loss, and hyperkalemia. Even injuries that seem manageable initially can develop into something far more serious, which is why immediate medical attention is essential.
You have three years from the date of your accident to start your crush injury claim. Don't wait. Evidence gets harder to gather and witnesses' memories fade over time. If you're approaching that deadline, get in touch immediately.
Crush injuries remain a serious workplace hazard. In 2023/24, 138 workers died in workplace accidents reported under RIDDOR regulations. Workers being trapped by collapsing equipment and contact with moving machinery are among the leading causes of fatal and serious injuries.
These preventable accidents highlight why compensation claims are so important. If you've suffered a crush injury due to someone else's negligence, you deserve proper compensation.
