Brain Injury Claims

A person who suffered a head injury will typically come to hospital via the Accident and Emergency department. In most cases they will be given appropriate treatment and advice, but occasionally vital signs of more serious injury are missed resulting in the patient suffering a subdural haematoma (bleed in the head) sometime later leading to brain damage.

Our specialist team has extensive experience dealing with claims for compensation for brain injury and brain damage. We are aware of the types of examination which should be performed and the symptoms which should trigger a CT or MRI scan or assessment.

We understand the long-term effects of a brain injury and therefore ensure that the victim has access to all forms of rehabilitation and receives maximum compensation to enable them to adjust to their injury and enjoy the best possible quality of life.

Morrish Solicitors is a well-established Law Firm based in Leeds and Bradford providing a range of legal services. We have a locally and nationally recognised team of specialist medical negligence solicitors helping victims of medical negligence get the compensation they deserve.

Our medical negligence team includes members of the Law Society’s specialist panel for clinical negligence solicitors.  The stringent criteria for membership of the panel ensures a high level of knowledge, skills, experience and practice in the area of clinical negligence.

Brain injury claims must be brought within 3 years of the date of the alleged negligence or from the date on which you first knew or suspected that you were injured as a result of the alleged negligence.

There are limited exceptions to this rule for claims involving children and protected parties as well as claims brought on behalf of an estate.

Our team of clinical negligence specialists are able to advise you further on the applicable limitation date when discussing your claim.
