A brain injury claim is a legal process to seek compensation for injuries caused to the brain in an accident. This can include head trauma, concussions, or more serious brain injuries such as bleeding, contusions, or long-term cognitive issues.
You can claim for a wide range of brain injuries, including concussions, skull fractures, brain hemorrhages, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and cognitive impairments that affect your memory or motor skills.
The amount of compensation depends on the severity of your brain injury, the impact it has on your life, medical costs, lost income, and future care requirements. We can provide a more accurate estimate once we review your case.
In Northern Ireland, the general time limit is three years from the date of the accident. It's best to get advice early, while the evidence is fresh.
To support your claim, you'll need medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and any relevant photographs or CCTV footage. Our team will help you gather the necessary evidence.
