Brain & Head Injuries FAQS

Below, we have answered some frequently asked questions concerning brain & head injuries

  • How long do I have to file a brain or head injury claim?

    You generally have three years from the date of the accident or the date you became aware of your injury to file a brain or head injury claim. It’s crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure that you don’t miss this deadline.

  • What types of compensation can I seek for my brain or head injury?

    Compensation for a brain or head injury claim may include:

    • General damages for pain, suffering, and loss of amenity
    • Special damages for financial losses, such as medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost earnings, care and assistance, and adaptations to your home or vehicle to accommodate your injury
    • Future care costs, including ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation, and support services
  • Can I still make a claim if my injury occurred some time ago?

    Yes, in some cases, you may still be able to make a brain or head injury claim even if the injury occurred some time ago. The key factor is whether the accident or injury was caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another party. It’s essential to seek legal advice as soon as possible to determine whether you still have a valid claim and to ensure that you meet any applicable deadlines for filing a claim.
