Head Injury Claims

If you have injured your head in an accident that was not your fault, we may be able to help you with a claim for compensation.

According to the Brain Injury Resource Foundation, each year approximately 125,000 people in the UK are admitted to hospital with a brain injury.

Unfortunately, these can be very serious injuries despite the skull’s protection. If you have had a head injury, this may mean your brain has been damaged. The human brain is extremely vulnerable to impact, its surface can be torn and bruised as it collides with the skull.

Can I claim compensation for my head injury?

At Oliver & Co Solicitors, we understand no amount of compensation can restore a person’s life to how it was before a catastrophic head injury. We also know that it is not only the pain and suffering you endured which needs to be taken into account.

It is vital to consider your rehabilitation needs, the cost of which could be substantial. It is our primary objective to secure the best treatment and rehabilitation for you, as well as the best compensation outcome.

We employ only the very best lawyers to assist you with your claim. We have an in-house doctor who is also a solicitor. She can assist in assessing the needs of any potential claim.

If you have had a head injury, it is important you seek the advice of an experienced specialist solicitor. If we are able to assist you with your claim, we will represent you on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, meaning that if your claim is unsuccessful there are no legal costs for you to pay.
