BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD INJURIES

In the UK over 1 million people each year attend accident and emergency departments with a head injury, and around 200,000 of these are admitted to hospital. There are approximately 1.3 million people living with disabilities resulting from these injuries. The vast majority of head injuries are not admitted, and most people with head injuries do not attend hospitals. 

Brain/ head and spinal cord injuries are amongst the most devastating of all injuries. Whilst even relatively minor head injuries can cause far-reaching effects, the most severe brain injuries are sudden, unexpected and often life-changing, affecting not only those unfortunate to be injured but also those closest to them.

Personalities can change, mood and many people are no longer able to perform the simple daily tasks that they once could

Their injuries have changed their lives beyond all recognition, and the lives of those closest to them.

Employment in your usual job, or any job, may no longer be possible; financial responsibilities can become overwhelming; family and close relationships may come under strain, and education can be halted in its tracks.

It is vital you or a family member contacts a law firm that is experienced in dealing with catastrophic injuries.

Fatal Accidents

In the deeply upsetting circumstances involving the death of a loved one, your solicitor will recognise and understand that no amount of money will compensate for your loss.

Seeking out a solicitor at such a difficult time is unlikely to be the first thought in your mind, but it may be a very important step that you have to take. In many cases, compensation can help families and their loved ones to recover financially and rebuild their lives in the years that follow.
