Brain Injury Compensation Claims

If you or your loved one has suffered a brain or head injury that was the result of an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation. This would be able to help you maintain your independence and improve your quality of life.

You should contact an industrial disease solicitor as soon as possible in regard to your brain injury compensation claim so that the legal process can be set into motion. This will also mean that events will be more recent and for example photographic evidence may still be able to be obtained.

There is a time limit on the amount of time that you or your loved one has after the accident to make a compensation claim. Court proceedings must be started within three years from the date of the accident. This means that it is more important than ever that you act as quickly as possible and contact our expert solicitors to get help with your brain injury claim.

Although there are a number of different ways in which you can suffer a head or brain injury, some of the most common accidents include:

• Falls from a height
• Road traffic accidents
• Medical negligence
• Workplace accidents (including accidents in the military)

If you have suffered a brain injury as the result of any of these accidents, our injury solicitors can help you gather the evidence that you will need to make your compensation claim.

It is difficult to be able to calculate the exact amount that you may be entitled to. However, there are a few factors that are taken into account. These are:

• Whether you will now require modifications to your home
• If any vehicle was damaged in your accident, and the cost of it being repaired or replaced
• Whether your injuries will prevent you from working and therefore result in a loss of earnings
• Any medical expenses that you have already paid, in addition to any future treatment that you will need to receive
