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

Brain injuries can have serious consequences, affecting cognitive function, mobility, and quality of life. If you or a loved one has experienced a brain injury due to a road accident, workplace incident, medical error, or a fall, you may be eligible to have your situation assessed by independent SRA-regulated solicitors.

Who Can Make A Brain Injury Claim?

Brain injury claims can be considered for individuals who have experienced head trauma due to someone else’s negligence, such as in road accidents, medical errors, or workplace incidents.

If the injured person cannot manage their own affairs due to cognitive impairment, a family member, legal guardian, or court-appointed representative may request an assessment on their behalf.

Parents may also request an assessment for their children to help secure financial support for ongoing care, therapy, and future needs. These claims aim to help families access guidance from independent solicitors regarding potential compensation.

Common Causes of Brain Injury Claims

Brain injury claims often arise from incidents where another party’s negligence caused significant head trauma. Common causes include:

• Road traffic accidents – Collisions involving cars, motorbikes, bicycles, or pedestrians frequently lead to claims due to severe brain injuries.
• Workplace accidents – Falls, falling objects, or unsafe conditions in the workplace can justify a brain injury claim.
• Medical negligence – Errors during surgery, delayed diagnoses, or birth complications may result in brain damage and grounds for legal action.
• Public liability incidents – Slips or falls in unsafe public or private spaces can lead to brain injury claims when negligence is proven.

Claims may cover areas such as medical treatment, rehabilitation costs, lost earnings, and long-term care needs. Independent SRA-regulated solicitors can assess whether a claim can be made.

How Much Compensation Can I Receive For A Brain Injury Claim?

The potential value of a brain injury claim varies depending on the severity of the injury, long-term effects, and financial impact. Minor injuries may result in lower assessments, while severe brain injuries may have higher financial considerations.

Factors considered can include medical expenses, loss of earnings, rehabilitation, ongoing care, and other impacts on quality of life. Independent solicitors can provide an assessment of potential claims.

How Do I Start A Brain Injury Claim?

The process begins by having your circumstances assessed by a specialist solicitor. Evidence such as medical records, brain scans, hospital reports, and accident documentation is usually needed to support a claim.

Additional supporting information may include:

• Witness statements
• Accident reports
• Financial records relating to loss of income or care costs

After assessment, independent solicitors can determine whether your situation may be suitable for a claim and advise on the next steps.

Time Limits for Brain Injury Claims

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

• For children, the three-year period starts on their 18th birthday.
• If the injured person lacks mental capacity, there may be no set limit unless capacity is regained.
• In medical negligence cases, the period begins when the claimant becomes aware that negligence may have caused the injury.

Early assessment by independent solicitors is recommended to ensure claims are reviewed within the appropriate timeframe.

What Evidence Is Needed For A Brain Injury Claim?

Potential claims are stronger when supported by clear evidence, including:

• Medical records & expert reports – To confirm the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term impact.
• Witness statements – From anyone who saw the accident or has knowledge of the injury’s impact.
• Accident reports – If the injury occurred at work or in a public place.
• Financial documentation – To prove loss of earnings, rehabilitation costs, and ongoing care expenses.

Can I Make A Brain Injury Claim On A No Win, No Fee Basis?

Some independent solicitors may offer No Win, No Fee agreements, meaning fees are only payable if the claim is successful. This can reduce upfront financial risk, allowing you to have your case assessed without initial costs.

How Long Does A Brain Injury Claim Take To Settle?

The length of a claim varies depending on complexity. Simple cases may be assessed within several months, while more complex situations involving medical evidence or long-term care needs may take longer.

In some cases, interim payments may be possible to help cover ongoing treatment and rehabilitation before a final assessment is completed.
