A serious brain injury can affect every part of a person’s life: memory, mobility, personality, ability to work and independence. When it was caused by someone else’s negligence, whether in a road accident, at work, or through medical error, compensation can provide the care and support needed for the future.
How do brain injuries happen through negligence?
Traumatic brain injuries often result from road traffic collisions, falls from height at work, assaults, or accidents in public places. Brain damage can also be caused by medical negligence, such as a delayed diagnosis of a bleed on the brain, oxygen deprivation, or an untreated infection like meningitis.
Do you have a claim?
We must show someone else was at fault and that their failing caused the injury. We work with neurologists, neuropsychologists and rehabilitation experts to document the full extent of the harm.
What are the time limits?
Most claims must be brought within three years, but where a brain injury leaves someone without mental capacity, the standard limit does not apply for as long as that incapacity continues.
What can you claim for?
Claims are often substantial: professional care and support, case management, specialist accommodation and adaptations, assistive technology, therapies, lost and future earnings, and the cost of a deputy. Interim payments can often fund early rehabilitation.
