Brain injuries affect thousands of people in the UK every year. Even a moderate brain injury can have a major impact on you and your family.
Our experienced team of lawyers recovered millions of pounds in compensation for clients affected by brain injuries.
We can also help you with treatment and rehabilitation by obtaining interim payments to pay for specialist brain injury case managers, therapists and support assistants.
You can claim compensation for brain injury where someone else is fully or even partly responsible for your injury.
You may have been injured in one of many different situations:
Whatever the circumstances, our specialist team can advise on claiming compensation.
If your family member lacks the mental capacity to bring a claim we can help you to bring a claim on their behalf. Our court of protection team can assist with the management of any damages awarded to a claimant who lacks capacity.
The length of your claim will be determined by a number of factors.
Organic recovery from brain injury can take 2 to 3 years. It may not be possible to fully assess the value of your claim until we know how your condition will affect you in the long-term.
The attitude of the Defendant in your case can also affect the length of time your claim takes - including whether they admit or deny liability.
However, we can often obtain early interim payments of damages in order to assist you with rehabilitation, living costs and other support until it is time for your claim to be finally settled.
The amount of compensation you will receive depends upon a number of factors including:
Even a moderately severe brain injury can lead to a very large award of compensation. Our team has experience of running many cases with multi-million pound settlements.
It is usually the case that court proceedings must be started within three years of the date when you sustained your injury.
Where a claimant lacks capacity to bring proceedings the time limit may be suspended but it is safer to assume that the time limit is three years unless you are advised otherwise by a specialist lawyer.
We will represent you on a no-win no fee basis.
You will not need to pay expenses associated with your case as you go along and in the event that the case is unsuccessful you will incur no financial liability whatsoever.
We work in partnership with a leading legal expenses insurer to provide a no-win no fee product that gives you complete peace of mind regarding the cost of your claim.
(You may also have legal expenses insurance under a home insurance policy always a bank account or credit card. You may also be a member of an organisation which provides legal costs cover. We can explore this with you to ensure that the best possible means of funding your case is adopted.)
Our team regularly obtains multi-million pound awards for our brain injured clients.
