At Lyons Davidson we have a specialist Head Injury Department that deals solely with head and brain injury claims on behalf of the injured party. We deal with injuries that arise from:
- Road traffic accidents;
- Accidents at work;
- Assaults;
- Clinical negligence.
We appreciate that the needs of those who have suffered head and brain injuries differ from those who are less seriously injured and require specialist advice and assistance. We have successfully recovered millions of pounds in damages, in compensation for our head and brain injured clients.
In cases where liability is established, a claim for compensation can be made and substantial damages may be recovered. In cases where liability is not contested, we are proactive in obtaining interim payments for:
- Setting up care regimes;
- Obtaining suitable accommodation, where required;
- Aids and equipment;
- Transport costs;
- Any other assistance that is required by the injured person and their family while the claim is ongoing.
When damages are received, we can advise on setting up a trust to protect means-tested benefits and on the investment of damages through our links with specialist financial advisors.
We can also provide advice and assistance on Court of Protection issues, when a client does not have mental capacity and is unable to manage their financial affairs.
Our specialist experience in dealing with head and brain injury claims is demonstrated by the fact we are panel solicitors for Headway, The Spinal Injuries Association, The Child Brain Injury Trust and the United Kingdom Acquired Brain Injury Forum.
If you think you or a loved one might have a claim please contact us for a free initial consultation and advice.
