Medical professionals treat every head injury seriously, as they know how far-reaching the effects can be. While many sufferers go on to make a full recovery, some will require special care for the rest of their lives.

How much can I claim for a head or brain injury?
It goes without saying that every head or brain injury is different, and the amount of compensation that may ultimately be paid depends on a variety of factors: from long-term prognosis to the cost of any care required. However, where head or brain injuries leave the sufferer with impaired mental capacity, or requiring a high level of care, compensation payments in the millions of pounds are not unheard of where someone else's negligence is to blame.
How will we pay for long-term care?
It's quite natural for the families of those with serious head or brain injuries to worry about where the money for long-term care will come from. That's why the cost of long-term care, medical costs, and aftercare over the injured party's lifetime is factored into the calculation of the compensation settlement. We're also aware of the need for other expenses such as any necessary home modifications and the full cost of rehabilitation to be included in your claim.
