What is a serious head or brain injury?

A serious head or brain injury is one that significantly impacts the brain’s function and can result in long-term or permanent physical, cognitive, and emotional impairments. These injuries require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care. 

If you or a loved one has sustained a serious head or brain injury, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention and legal advice. Medical professionals can provide the necessary treatment and rehabilitation, while experienced personal injury solicitors can help you pursue compensation to cover medical expenses, lost income, and other related costs.

How much does a legal claim cost?

The cost of making a legal claim can vary, but with our firm, you don’t need to worry about upfront fees. We provide our services on a ‘no win, no fee basis’, meaning you only pay if we successfully secure compensation for you. We take a small percentage from your compensation as a success fee.

How much compensation could I claim for a head injury?

The value of a head injury claim can vary significantly depending on the severity of the injury and its impact on your life. 

Minor head injuries, such as mild concussions, may result in compensation ranging from £1,500 to £12,000. 
Moderate head injuries, involving longer recovery times and some lasting effects, can lead to compensation between £12,000 and £85,000. 
Severe head injuries, which cause substantial long-term or permanent disability, can result in compensation amounts ranging from £85,000 to over £350,000. 
However, every case is different, and we cannot predict how much compensation can be claimed until we thoroughly analyse your case.
