Yes, you can make a compensation claim for a bowel injury if it was caused by someone else’s negligence or fault. Bowel injuries refer to damage to the intestines or other parts of the digestive system, such as perforations, ruptures, or trauma, and these injuries can have severe, long-term effects on a person’s health and lifestyle.
If someone else’s actions or failure to act resulted in your bowel injury, you may be entitled to claim compensation. This can help cover the costs of treatment, rehabilitation, and support for any long-term care needs. Compensation can also account for the pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life caused by the injury, as well as financial losses such as loss of earnings or the need for home adaptations.

Bowel injuries can occur in several ways, many of which may form the basis of a legal claim if caused by someone else’s negligence. Common causes include:
If your injury occurred in one of these scenarios and a third party failed in their duty of care, you may be eligible to claim compensation.
If you have suffered a bowel injury and believe it was caused by someone else’s negligence, it’s important to seek legal advice as early as possible. Making a claim for a bowel injury involves gathering strong evidence, understanding your legal rights, and ensuring the full impact of the injury is recognised.
At Brian Barr Solicitors, we make the claims process straightforward and supportive. From your very first contact with us, we will take the time to understand your experience and how your injury has affected your life. We will review any evidence you have, such as medical records, witness accounts, or incident reports, and advise you on how best to proceed.
Time limits do apply, so acting promptly is crucial. In most cases, you must start a claim within three years of the injury or from when you became aware it was caused by negligence. Starting the process early also allows us to secure vital medical evidence and explore options for interim payments, which can help cover treatment costs or lost income while your case is ongoing.
Whether your injury was the result of a clinical mistake or a serious accident, our experienced team is here to help you build the strongest possible claim. We will liaise with medical experts, handle all negotiations on your behalf, and fight to secure the compensation you deserve. With decades of experience in serious injury litigation, we understand what it takes to get the right outcome.
The amount of compensation you could receive for a bowel injury depends on several factors, particularly the severity of the injury and its long-term impact on your life. Claims are assessed individually, and no two cases are the same. However, there are established guidelines and case precedents that help solicitors and courts determine appropriate compensation ranges.
Severe bowel injuries, such as those requiring a permanent colostomy, resulting in incontinence, or involving life-threatening complications like sepsis, can attract six-figure sums. More moderate injuries, where recovery is possible but the impact on quality of life is still significant, tend to fall into the mid five-figure range.
Some of the key factors that affect your compensation include:
At Brian Barr Solicitors, we use expert medical evidence, financial documentation, and the Judicial College Guidelines to ensure your claim reflects the full scope of your injury both now and in the future. Our goal is always to maximise your compensation so you can move forward with the support and security you deserve.
If you or a loved one has sustained a bowel injury due to medical negligence, a surgical error, a serious accident, or delayed diagnosis, getting the right legal support can make a life-changing difference. Bowel injury claims are often complex and sensitive, involving long-term health implications such as incontinence, permanent colostomies, or significant lifestyle changes. These cases require not only a deep understanding of personal injury and clinical negligence law but also the ability to accurately value both immediate and future losses, including ongoing care needs, loss of earnings, and quality of life impacts.

You can make a claim for a bowel injury resulting from road traffic accidents, workplace accidents, medical negligence (such as surgical errors), or delayed diagnoses. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for pain, suffering, and financial losses.
You typically have three years from the date of the accident or when you became aware that negligence caused your injury (known as the “date of knowledge”). For medical negligence cases, the three-year period usually starts from the date you learned that your injury was due to a healthcare provider’s mistake. There are exceptions, such as for minors or those lacking mental capacity.
Yes, if your bowel injury was caused by surgical negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. This could include errors such as accidental perforation during surgery or failure to diagnose a condition that could have been treated earlier. A claim for medical negligence would focus on whether the care provided fell below the expected standard.
Most claims are resolved through negotiation and do not require a court appearance. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may go to court. At Brian Barr Solicitors, we provide expert representation and support throughout the entire process, whether your case is settled out of court or proceeds to trial.
While you can pursue a claim on your own, having a specialist personal injury solicitor greatly increases your chances of success and ensures that your claim is properly valued. Solicitors can help gather medical evidence, assess long-term care needs, and negotiate on your behalf to secure the maximum compensation possible. At Brian Barr Solicitors, we have extensive experience in bowel injury claims and offer No Win No Fee services, making expert legal support accessible to all.
Yes, you can still claim compensation if you were partly responsible for the accident. This is known as contributory negligence. If you are found to be partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced based on the percentage of responsibility assigned to you. However, you are still entitled to compensation for the portion of fault that lies with the other party.
