Brain injuries are amongst the most difficult to recover from. The brain heals slowly, and it is notoriously difficult to determine whether a head injury will cause long-term damage to a person’s health.
Because the impact a brain injury has on a person’s life is so great the amount of compensation that is awarded in these cases is quite high. This means that the organisation or person that is being sued is going to fight the case tooth and nail. Therefore, you need a good lawyer to fight this kind of personal injury claim.
If you can, use a lawyer that already has extensive experience of dealing with head injury compensation claims. They know how the system works and how to secure the right level of compensation.
No win no fee
Look for a lawyer who is willing to take your case on under a no win no fee contract. When you are ill and unsure about your future, and your ability to work, the last thing you need is high lawyer bills.
The best head injury lawyers will carry out a review of your case for free. They will look at the details of your accident, any witness accounts and your medical records to determine the strength of your claim. If you have a strong enough case they will take care of everything up to and including the court case, without charging you anything. They are only paid if they win your case for you, so they are very well motivated, and will give you the best representation possible.
