Headway the brain injury charity estimates* every year around 350,000 people are admitted to hospital with a brain injury, that’s one every 90 seconds!
The effects of a brain injury can vary dependant on the extent, location, and type of injury. Symptoms can include physical effects, such as balance issues, headaches, dizziness, and cognitive, behavioural and emotional effects such as memory problems, anger and fatigue. They can have a lifelong impact on not only those who have been injured but their families too.
If you have sustained a head injury and another person or organisation is to blame or is partly responsible for your injury, you could be entitled to compensation.
We regularly support clients who have been injured following:
- Road traffic accidents – including drivers, passengers, and pedestrians
- Accidents at work – such as falling of a ladder
- Accidents in public places
- Medical negligence – such as the misdiagnosis of an infection such as meningitis or a brain tumour
- Criminal assault
While you can never be truly compensated for the life changing impact of a brain injury, we strive to recover compensation to help pay for:
- Rehabilitation
- Loss of earnings
- Home improvements such as the adaptation of your house
- Care in the home
- Transport and equipment
- Specialist education needs
JMP Solicitors offers a wealth of experience in representing clients with head injuries and we understand the impact this type of injury can have upon you and your family. We can help you to get your life back on track and are focused on helping you to rebuild your life and get the support and compensation you need to get you back to doing what you were before the accident as much as is possible.
We are recognised by Legal 500 – the leading guide to law firms and solicitors in the UK for our personal injury services.
Most of the claims we deal with are on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means that you will not have to pay any legal fees upfront and no fees if your claim is unsuccessful.
In most cases there is a time limit of 3 years to make a claim. This is from the date you suffered your injury, although there are some exceptions to this such as if the injured person lacks mental capacity, is a child or the case involves a criminal assault.
