Can You Make a Brain Injury Claim?

If your brain injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Common causes include:

Medical Negligence

• Delayed or incorrect diagnosis leading to further complications.
• Surgical errors or improper medication resulting in brain trauma.
• Birth injuries caused by oxygen deprivation or medical mistakes.
• Infections due to substandard care leading to neurological damage.

Workplace Accidents

• Falls from unsafe heights or slips and trips causing head injuries.
• Falling objects striking the head and causing trauma.
• Lack of protective equipment in hazardous work environments.

Road Traffic Accidents

• High-impact car, motorcycle, or cycling accidents leading to brain injuries.
• Pedestrian collisions resulting in head trauma.

At Integrity Law, we work to establish clear liability, proving that your injury was a direct result of someone else’s failure to uphold their duty of care.

Types of Brain Injuries We Handle

Brain injuries can range in severity, affecting everything from cognitive function to mobility and overall quality of life. Some common types include:

• Concussions – Short-term brain function disruptions caused by impact.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – Severe injuries due to sudden trauma.
• Hypoxic or Anoxic Injuries – Damage from oxygen deprivation.
• Cerebral Edema – Swelling of the brain caused by trauma or delayed treatment.

Understanding the nature of your injury is key to building a strong claim and securing the maximum compensation.

Time Limits for Filing a Brain Injury Claim

Under UK law, strict time limits apply to brain injury claims:

• For Minors – Claims can be made up until their 18th birthday. After that, they have until age 21 to file a claim.
• For Adults – Claims must be filed within three years from the date of injury or when the negligence was discovered.

Failing to act within these timeframes can jeopardize your ability to claim compensation.

What Factors Determine Compensation?

The amount awarded in brain injury claims depends on several factors, including:

Severity of the Injury – Long-term impact on mobility, cognitive function, and quality of life.
Medical Costs – Expenses for treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.
Loss of Earnings – Impact on current and future ability to work.
Lifestyle Adjustments – Costs for home modifications, mobility aids, and personal care.
Pain and Suffering – Emotional distress and reduced quality of life.

At Integrity Law, we ensure every aspect of your case is carefully evaluated to maximize your compensation and secure the financial support you need for the future.
