Legal Advice Following a Brain Injury

Accidents, negligence, or illegal activity can sometimes result in injuries. Our expert Brain Injury Solicitors are skilled in advising clients on whether they may be able to pursue a claim for compensation.

Early access to expert legal advice on a variety of legal, financial, and practical issues can assist with ongoing therapy, care, and rehabilitation after hospital discharge as well as throughout your brain injury claim. It can also enhance your results by maximising your level of independence and recovery.

Instead of just agreeing to a short-term settlement that will not support you in the coming years, our expert Brain Injury Solicitors have the necessary experience and expertise to construct a case for the amount of compensation you need to sustain you now and for the rest of your life.

Ideally, you should bring your claim as soon as possible following your accident. This will enable our expert Brain Injury Solicitors to gather all the evidence about your accident and the injuries and losses you have suffered. Generally, brain injury claims should be brought within two years of the accident date, but there are exceptions to this rule. If you were younger than 18 when you sustained the injury, you have until your 20^th birthday to lodge a claim regardless of your age at the time of the injury. Also, importantly, if a person lacks mental capacity i.e. cannot make decisions for themselves, there is no limit for bringing a claim, unless capacity is regained, at which point the 2 year limitation period commences.

If a person lacks mental capacity, as may happen following a brain injury, then a close family member may initiate legal proceedings on their behalf. Please feel free to contact our expert Brain Injury Solicitors for advice.
