At Brain Injury Solicitors, we help individuals and families across the UK assess potential claims for brain injuries caused by accidents or negligence.

Brain injuries can lead to long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and loss of income, affecting quality of life. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury due to a road accident, workplace incident, medical error, or public liability issue, you may be eligible to have your situation assessed by independent SRA-regulated solicitors.

When Should I Contact A Brain Injury Solicitor?

It is recommended to have your circumstances assessed as soon as possible after a brain injury occurs. Early assessment can help preserve evidence, gather medical records, and comply with time limits.

If you are facing challenges with insurance claims, liability disputes, or delayed payments, early assessment can ensure your situation is reviewed efficiently by independent solicitors.

How Can A Brain Injury Solicitor Help With My Claim?

A specialist brain injury solicitor can review medical evidence, including reports from doctors, neurologists, and rehabilitation specialists, to determine whether a claim may be possible.

They can advise on:

• Collecting supporting evidence, such as witness statements and accident reports
• Assessing potential financial impacts, including treatment costs, rehabilitation, and lost earnings
• Whether interim payments may be requested to cover ongoing medical or care expenses

Independent SRA-regulated solicitors provide all legal advice. Brain Injury Solicitors only help assess eligibility and refer enquiries.

How Much Compensation Can A Brain Injury Solicitor Help Me Claim?

The potential value of a brain injury claim varies depending on the severity of the injury, long-term effects, and financial impact:

• Mild brain injuries (e.g., concussions): £1,000–£10,000
• Moderate injuries: £40,000–£200,000
• Severe injuries causing permanent disability or cognitive impairment: potentially hundreds of thousands to millions

Factors considered may include medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost earnings, ongoing care, and quality-of-life impacts. Independent solicitors can assess potential claims.

What Are The Common Causes Of Brain Injury Claims?

Brain injury claims may result from incidents where another party’s negligence caused head trauma:

• Road traffic accidents – Collisions involving cars, motorbikes, bicycles, or pedestrians
• Workplace incidents – Falls, machinery accidents, or unsafe working conditions
• Medical negligence – Surgical errors, anaesthetic mistakes, birth injuries, or delayed diagnoses
• Slips, trips, and falls – Unsafe public or private spaces
• Assault-related injuries – Brain trauma caused by violent crimes (may be assessed via CICA)

Claims aim to determine whether compensation may be available for treatment, rehabilitation, and lost income.

Can I Hire A Brain Injury Solicitor On A No Win, No Fee Basis?

Some independent solicitors may offer No Win, No Fee agreements, meaning fees are only payable if a claim is successful. This allows your situation to be assessed without upfront costs or financial risk.

How Long Do I Have To Make A Brain Injury Claim?

Most claims must be assessed within three years of the accident or the date the injury was diagnosed:

• For children, the three-year period starts on their 18th birthday
• For individuals lacking mental capacity, there may be no set limit
• Claims from criminal assault may follow two-year limits under CICA

Early assessment by independent solicitors helps ensure claims are reviewed within the correct timeframe.

What Evidence Is Needed For A Brain Injury Claim?

A brain injury solicitor requires the following forms of evidence to build a strong case:

• Medical reports, including hospital records, brain scans, and expert assessments, are essential to proving the severity of the injury.
• Accident reports, such as workplace incident logs, police reports, or public liability claims, help establish liability.
• Financial evidence, including payslips, invoices, and receipts, demonstrates lost earnings and ongoing care costs.
• Witness statements from individuals who saw the accident or injury occur can also support the claim.

How Long Does A Brain Injury Claim Take With A Solicitor?

The duration depends on case complexity:

• Straightforward claims – May be assessed within several months if liability is clear
• Complex claims – May take several years if extensive medical evidence or long-term care is involved

In some cases, interim payments may be requested to cover ongoing treatment or rehabilitation while the claim is assessed.
