Head or Brain Injury

Head and Brain Injury cases generally involve injuries to you or your loved one that will have a potentially horrendous impact on you, them and your whole family.

At Lawford Kidd we specialise in looking after people like you who have had such devastating injuries. Contact us for free initial advice on 0800 027 1480.

Catastrophic injuries such as these will generally be either direct injury to the brain or head; or to the spinal chord.These injuries can lead to either complete or partial paralysis(for example tetraplegia or paraplegia); or to direct brain damage affecting your ability to function properly  in an everyday  way; for example affecting your speech or understanding.

It can affect your cognitive functioning(making choices and taking decisions)and leave you with significant difficulty with your memory;your behaviour, including complete personality change.It can leave the injured person behaving aggressively or violently towards their loved ones and family.

Our epxert personal injury lawyers know this and we are used to looking after injured people and their families who have to go through great difficulties  in adjusting and coping.

We will arrange to have your injuries assessed by appropriate medical consultants including brain surgeons( neurologists and neurosurgeons) and Neuropsycholgists. We will identify exactly how you have been damaged and affected and we will establish what needs to be done medically to assist you and your family in your recovery and care.

We will have you seen and assessed in your own house , or at hospital, to establish your care needs. We will ensure that that care is provided  to you and will source this for you, over and above NHS treatment, privately. We will ensure that the injured person gets the sort of physical and psychological medical care they need.

To do this, we will seek early and substantial interim payment awards from the court to help fund that care  and medical treatment privately and we will seek to recover the cost of that treatment as part of your claim.

Any settlement of your claim will ensure that  the cost of any treatment, support and care needed in future is fully funded and paid for.
