Brain Injury Compensation Claim
An injury to the brain caused by a trauma to the head is classed as a serious personal injury. If the injury was caused by someone else’s actions or due to negligence, you can launch a claim for compensation to recover some of your losses. To find out more please keep reading.
If an injury to your brain occurs at work through no fault of your own, is the result of an accident, or was caused by medical negligence, you may be able to file a claim for compensation. Parliamentary reports suggest there are 1.4 million people in the UK who live with a permanent Acquired Brain Injury. This costs the NHS billions each year with a steady influx of new patients every day1. You should launch a compensation claim using our personal injury solicitor who will help you try and recover your costs. We don’t just work on a No Win No Fee basis, our warm and friendly team will listen to your experience, answer all of your questions and give you free and impartial advice about your injury matter.

The severity of a brain injury
A brain injury is very serious indeed. It is an ongoing problem which limits your capacity to live or work. The injury may disfigure you or come with unexpected side effects. Serious personal injuries always have a long-term treatment plan and long-term costs to go with them. You are entitled to claim compensation for the ongoing costs associated with your injury.
How do brain injuries happen?
There is more than one way to acquire a traumatic brain injury. A brain injury might occur as a result of a road traffic accident or if you are hit by a car. It might occur if you are in hospital having an operation and the surgeon does something wrong. It could happen when you are giving birth and your child is starved of oxygen during the birthing process. It could happen at work or even after a simple fall.
Who can claim for serious injuries?
You can claim compensation for a serious injury if you become injured through no fault of your own and if another person’s negligence causes your injury.
However your brain injury happens, you would be wise to seek the advice of our professional expert personal injury solicitors who will provide you with No Win No Fee assistance. That way you don’t suffer any financial impact if your case doesn’t win.
