Brain Haemorrhage

A brain haemorrhage, also known as a haemorrhagic stroke, is bleeding in or around the brain either as a result of a blow to the head (during an accident or assault) or a ruptured aneurysm it can also be associated with high blood pressure or blood-clotting disorders.

Cardiac Failure

Sometimes a medical problem isn’t treated as it should be and a patient is allowed to deteriorate so much that their heart function is affected. Without the heart pumping blood and oxygen to the brain, serious damage can occur. Let us help you investigate.

Surgical Errors

Mistakes made during surgery, or the wrong advice about risks before surgery, can give rise to a medical negligence claim if serious harm is done. We have the expertise to help you investigate what went wrong and achieve the compensation you deserve.

Brain Injury Claim FAQs

If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury you may be able to make a claim and gain compensation. A brain injury can occur for a number of reasons. We help support people have suffered a brain injury for one of the following reasons:

  • Road traffic accidents;
  • Accidents at work;
  • Surgical Injuries;
  • Medical Negligence

All brain injury claims are different and this depends upon when a final prognosis is known and a claim can be valued.

Once we obtain an admission of liability in your case we can request an immediate payment to help with your needs and put support in place.

Brain injury claims due to medical negligence rarely go to court, with only a small percentage of the more complex cases ending up there. However, in the unlikely event that your case reaches court, we will be by your side throughout the process.

It is important to pursue your brain injury claim as quickly as possible due to time limits and to also enable us to help you obtain compensation as soon as possible. This is especially the case in complex cases as the process can be lengthy.

You have to start your claim within 3-years (limitation period) from when the injury occurred or when you first became aware of any potential negligence or injury as a result. However, the time limit only begins when a child reaches 18 years of age.

For someone who lacks capacity to pursue any litigation, the 3-year time period may never start to run although capacity can return or be intermittent.

You should always seek legal advice upon the relevant limitation period in your circumstances.

There may be several options open to you to include legal aid, No Win No Fee and legal expense insurance. We can advise you on the correct funding method for you. We have designed a No Win No Fee package to protect you from paying any costs should your claim not be successful.

We can provide a second opinion free of charge. We have acted for many clients who have been told they don’t have a case, but by looking at the claim in a different way and with our expertise, we have gone on to be successful.
