What Can Cause Head and Brain Injuries?
Head and brain injuries can occur due to different accidents and incidents, often leading to significant consequences. Common causes include:
- Car Accidents
- Workplace Incidents
- Vulnerable road user accidents (pedestrian, cyclists, motorcyclists)
- Slips, falls and trips
- Criminal assaults
- Sports injuries
The amount of compensation you receive depends on the nature and severity of your accident. For expert legal advice and to discuss your head or brain injury claim, contact us, and we will offer you the best support and care possible.
What is the time limit to make your head and brain injury claim?
A person usually has three years after the injury occurred to make their head and brain injury claim. This allows you sufficient time to file your claim and seek professional advice.
However, there are some exceptions to this rule. This applies in cases which include:
- Children
If the injured person is under 18, the three-year period begins when they turn 18. This means they can make their claim before they turn 21.
- Mental capacity
In case the injured person lacks the mental capacity to make a claim, there is no time limit for them to make their claim until they regain capacity.
- Date of Knowledge
There are cases when the three-year time limit could start from the date you became aware that your injury was caused by the incident.
- Criminal assault
For victims of criminal assault to seek brain injury compensation, the time limit is 2 years after the assault happened.
What you need to make a Head and Brain Injury Claim today
Making a head and brain injury claim can be frightening for many people, but to get the compensation you deserve, it is important to be well-prepared.
