Thousands of UK citizens suffer from TBI every year and over 10,000 people per year will have permanent disability which can have long-term residual problems that interfere with daily life. These problems are often overlooked by health care professionals due to minimal outward damage that may occur, which can lead to improper care and treatment. We are able to provide first class legal representation for traumatic brain injury compensation claims, from experienced lawyers to anyone who has suffered brain damage.

TBI is caused by sudden physical damage. The head can either forcefully hit an object or the skull can be penetrated which is called an ‘open head injury’. The main causes are from motor vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries, violent crimes including gunshot wounds and child abuse.
