Acquired Brain Injury
Helping to guide you through
What is involved?
When someone suffers an acquired brain injury, the results can be devastating for them and their family. If the injury has been caused by someone else’s negligence, our experienced lawyers can provide the injured person – or their family – with specialist advice regarding bringing a claim for compensation.
There are many situations in which an acquired brain injury can occur – such as delayed treatment of meningitis or inadequate care directly after birth. We have represented clients with catastrophic brain injury following brain surgery and brain damage due to negligent neonatal care and anaesthetic negligence. Our clinical negligence team has considerable experience in brain injury claims including cerebral palsy claims, ready to answer your specific questions.
Where assistance with the management of compensation payments is needed, to safeguard the funds for the longer term, our experts in Court of Protection can help.
Call our Clinical Negligence or Court of Protection teams now to see how we can help you.
