Head Injury and Brain Injury Claims

BHP Law has a team of specialist personal injury solicitors and advisers with a wide range of experience in dealing with traumatic head injury claims and brain injury compensation.

Our Head Injury / Brain Injury Services

BHP Law understand that bringing a claim for head injury compensation, whilst important in securing your financial future is only part of the process of dealing with the consequences of a serious head injury.

We will support and guide you, not only through the compensation process, but also through the many practical difficulties that you and your family will face in the coming months and years.

Do I Have A Head Injury Claim?

The only way to find out if you have a head injury / brain injury claim is to ask.

Even if you think there is no possible claim, we are happy to talk it through with you to see if we can help. Asking will cost you nothing. Many successful head injury claims have started from unpromising beginnings, but we will not waste your time and add to the pressures upon you if we believe there is no prospect of pursuing a successful case.

Case Study

Our client, a Senior Manager in her mid 30’s, suffered a severe head injury in a road traffic accident in December 2006, for which she received in-patient treatment and rehabilitation for over 6 months. Now 4 years on she has made a remarkable recovery, with the help of further rehabilitation and support, although unfortunately she is unlikely to work again other than in a voluntary capacity. Liability for the claim was initially disputed but BHP Law successfully settled the claim and our client received substantial damages that have enabled her to create a new life for herself.

Here's what Sharon had to say .....

"Paul Saxon dealt with a compensation claim for me following a road traffic accident. I dealt with Paul for two and a half years and he saw me in some terrible states. That said he was also there to see my improvements and my progression.

From the very first meeting with Paul both my husband and I felt at ease with him. I was comfortable speaking and telling him about my accident and the subsequent issues I had to face. The issues that followed were difficult for me and I became emotional on occasion talking with Paul. During these times I still felt at ease with Paul and was able to talk about difficult subjects with him.

Paul kept me up to date with how the legal case was progressing at all times. He was always polite and professional whilst maintaining a friendly demeanor and compassionate manner.

After 2 and a half years the case came to a satisfactory close. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Paul to anyone in such a claim. I have such gratitude towards Paul and will always remember just what a great chap he was. In fact he became a friend to us"

Thank you
