Can I Make A Brain Injury Compensation Claim?

If you believe that a brain injury suffered by you or a member of your family was the fault of someone else, you may be able to make a claim for compensation.

In some cases – such as work accident claims – you may need to prove that another party, such as your employer, failed in their duty of care to you. In other cases, such as physical assault, organisations exist to compensate victims.

Some examples of brain injury cases we have come across in our decades of experience include those caused by:

• Traumatic brain injury in the workplace – this could include being hit by moving or falling items or vehicles as well as slips, trips, and falls or falling from height.
• Medical negligence – caused by procedures being performed incorrectly or inaccurately prescribed medication.
• Adverse living conditions – such as when a landlord has installed faulty heating equipment leading to carbon monoxide poisoning or not installed legally required alarms.
• Road traffic accidents – if you were in a traffic accident, another road user or even your local authority may bear some measure of responsibility.
• Violent assaults – a special organisation exists to compensate victims of violent assault, making it possible to get some financial support.

2) Learn How No-Win, No-Fee Works

In difficult times like these, it can be a relief to know that you won’t have to find the financial resources to make a claim for the compensation you deserve.

Working on a no-win, no-fee basis ensures that you don’t have anything to pay to have our expert personal injury solicitors start working your case.

3) Find Out About Brain Injury Compensation

With their extensive experience to draw from, our supportive team can advise you as to how much compensation you might be due.

Brain injury compensation – as in all types of personal injury claims – has set legal guidelines for how much you could claim. These guidelines are quite broad, ranging from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand pounds.

The level of compensation your particular injury might lead to will depend on its severity and the effect it will have on your life in the long term.

If the evidence in your case is fairly clear, the amount is likely to be negotiated by us and the legal team representing the other party. This is because we are both likely to understand what the courts will decide in a case like yours.

We have a long history of negotiating hard to ensure our clients receive the maximum possible compensation for their injuries. Only in the event that evidence is unclear is it likely that your case would go to court.

4) Confirm The Strength Of Your Claim

We can help you be sure it is worth pressing your claim by investigating the evidence available and the overall strength of your case.

If we believe your claim is worth pursuing based on our experience of your likelihood of success, we are likely to suggest you get an independent medical assessment of the extent of your injuries. This is a key part of the claim process.

Then the main tasks of completing your brain injury compensation claim begin. We are here to support you throughout.
