We acted on behalf of Verity, a child who was 20 months old when she was trapped underneath a reversing car, which was being driven by her father while on a family camping holiday. The case is the most tragic that anyone involved in Verity’s care and treatment had ever come across and was an emotionally very complex case.
A brain injury is a serious injury where brain function is affected. This can be a temporary circumstance, or if more severe, can be lifelong. Brain injuries affect many different things in a person such as speech, cognitive function and motor function, and are usually caused by a harmful impact to the skull.
You can find about more about living with a brain injury, and discover answers to questions such as “what are the types of brain injury?” and “how do brain injuries affect people differently?” in our comprehensive brain injury guide >>
A brain injury occurs when the brain is damaged by an external force (such as an accident) or internal factors like lack of oxygen or infection. Brain injuries can affect how a person thinks, feels, behaves, communicates, or moves, and no two people experience them in the same way.
Doctors usually perform a number of exams and scans to diagnose a brain injury. Diagnosis often begins with an initial assessment, including the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) to identify the type and severity of the brain injury. You can read more about this in our brain injury guide >>
Compensation for a brain injury aims to cover pain and suffering, treatment, rehabilitation, care, loss of earnings, accommodation needs, and future support.

Our helpful guide is designed to give you more information about brain injuries and how our team may be able to help with a brain injury claim.
General damages (pain and suffering)
Special damages (financial losses and future costs)
Brain injuries are often described as:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) – caused by an external impact, such as a blow to the head.
Acquired brain injuries (ABI) – caused by illness or medical events, such as stroke, infection, or lack of oxygen
They may also be classed as mild, moderate, or severe, although even a “mild” brain injury can have serious, long-term consequences.
We are usually able to offer no win, no fee agreements (also known as Conditional Fee Arrangements (CFAs)) to our personal injury clients. In ‘no win, no fee’ agreements there are no up-front costs for you and if you don’t win, we don’t get paid.

The process involves investigating how the injury occurred, establishing who was legally responsible, gathering medical and financial evidence, and negotiating compensation. Wherever possible, the focus is on securing early rehabilitation and financial support.
You may be eligible if the injury was caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. A solicitor can assess this during a free initial consultation.
Typically:
Initial consultation
Investigation and evidence gathering
Medical assessments
Rehabilitation and interim funding requests
Negotiation or court proceedings if necessary
Evidence may include medical records, expert reports, accident reports, witness statements, and financial documentation showing losses and care needs.
Care expert reports assess daily support needs and help ensure compensation reflects the true cost of care and assistance.
The injured person, or someone acting on their behalf if they lack capacity, may bring a claim.
Yes. Claims can be brought by a litigation friend, such as a family member, if the injured person cannot manage the process themselves.
If someone lacks mental capacity, the court can appoint a litigation friend and may later become involved in managing compensation through the Court of Protection.
Yes. Parents or guardians can bring a claim on behalf of a child, and additional protections apply to ensure the child’s future needs are met.
Yes. Depending on the circumstances, claims may be possible through civil courts, the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme, or both.
This means the injured person may be found partly responsible for the accident.
Any compensation awarded may be reduced by a percentage to reflect shared responsibility.
Complex brain injury claims can take several years, particularly where long-term prognosis is unclear. However, interim payments can often be secured much earlier.
Most claims must be started within three years, though different rules apply for children and those lacking capacity.
Most cases settle without a trial, but solicitors prepare every case thoroughly in case court proceedings are necessary.
They provide tailored, long-term care services designed around the individual’s needs.
A case manager coordinates care, therapies, and support, helping families navigate complex systems.
Compensation may include payment for gratuitous care provided by family members.
Facial fractures can be distressing injuries to sustain, and can have a negative impact on a person both physically and mentally. Facial fractures include parts of the face such as the nose, cheeks, mouth and jaw, and can be caused in a variety of ways. Most commonly, we see personal injury claims brought for facial fractures after road traffic accidents and accidents in the workplace.
Some facial fractures may cause permanent damage, depending on their severity. While milder fractures may heal without any lasting issues, more traumatic breaks to bones in the face might cause disfigurement and permanent scarring.
Suffering with concussion is a common side effect of head trauma, and can range from mild to moderate or severe. Concussion in terms of personal injury usually relates to someone being involved in a road traffic accident, sporting accident, or sustaining an accidental blow to the head in the workplace.
Making a concussion claim may be the route you choose if you have been left with short or long-term impairment, such as headaches, memory loss, tinnitus, or another concussion-related problem that impacts your daily life.
Like facial fractures and concussion, eye injuries can be the result of a traumatic head injury and can impact a person’s life quite drastically. It can be physically and psychologically damaging if you sustain a severe eye injury, and our experts understand how anyone could feel in this situation.
Being left with visual impairments, such as partial blindness or even full blindness, evidently impacts your life after sustaining your injury. That’s why we will work with you throughout your claim to fully understand the support you’d require ongoing, and make sure we achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family.

In general you have three years from the date of injury or reasonable knowledge of injury to bring a compensation claim. There are some exceptions to this rule for instance where the matter involves a child in which case the child has three years from the date of their 18th birthday to bring a claim, therefore expiring on the individual’s 21st birthday.
It is important to speak to a legal team as early as possible to avoid any issues with limitation dates.
