What Is a Crush Injury Claim?
A crush injury claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you’ve suffered serious injuries caused by heavy machinery, falling objects, vehicle accidents, or other workplace or road traffic incidents. Crush injuries often involve broken bones, nerve damage, internal bleeding, or even amputations, and they can have life-changing effects.
If you’ve been injured in the last three years in an accident that wasn’t your fault, LITKRAFT can help you pursue a claim and secure the support you need to recover physically, emotionally, and financially.
Who Can Claim?
You may be entitled to make a crush injury claim if you were injured due to:
• Unsafe working conditions or defective machinery
• Falling objects on a construction or industrial site
• Road traffic accidents involving cars, lorries, or heavy goods vehicles
• Poorly maintained equipment or lack of protective barriers
• Negligence by an employer, contractor, or another party

How Much Compensation Could You Get?

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
