Brain Injury
Compensation Claim
A brain injury can have a significant impact on someone’s life. Depending on the nature and severity of the injury, it can affect memory, concentration, communication, mobility, independence, employment and everyday activities.
The effects can also have a significant impact on family members and those providing care and support.

A brain injury can affect many different areas of life. Depending on the nature and severity of the injury, it may cause problems with memory, concentration, communication, mobility, behaviour, fatigue or emotional wellbeing.
For some people, the effects are temporary. For others, they can be long term and may affect employment, relationships, independence and everyday activities.
At Injury Support Services, we provide expert advice and support to people affected by brain injury. This includes helping you understand whether you may have grounds for a compensation claim and what other support may be available to you.
Why contact Injury Support Services?
Specialist legal support
Our in-house team includes legal specialists alongside experienced nursing and medical professionals with many years of combined clinical experience. This means we can consider both the legal aspects of your potential claim and the nature and impact of your injuries from an early stage.
This can be particularly valuable in brain injury cases, where the effects may be complex or may become clearer over time.
Where appropriate, we can connect you with a specialist solicitor from our trusted legal panel with experience relevant to your circumstances.
Clear advice about your options
We consider how the injury occurred, who may have been responsible, the information available about your injuries and the effect they have had on your work, finances and everyday life.
This initial assessment can help establish whether there may be grounds for a claim and explain the options available to you.
Support beyond the claim
Brain injury can create needs that extend well beyond the legal claim itself. We can help you explore other services and support that may be relevant to your circumstances.
Could you make a brain injury claim?
You may be able to make a claim if a brain injury was caused wholly or partly by another person’s negligence or wrongdoing.
Brain injuries can arise in many different circumstances, including:
- road traffic accidents
- motorbike or cycling accidents
- accidents at work
- falls from height
- accidents in public places
- medical negligence
- sporting or recreational accidents
- assaults or other criminal injuries
The effects of a brain injury are not always obvious immediately after an accident. Symptoms can develop or become more apparent over time, so it can still be worth seeking specialist advice even where the injury initially appeared relatively minor.
What could compensation cover?
Every claim is different, but compensation may take account of:
- your injuries, pain and suffering
- loss of earnings and future earning capacity
- medical treatment and rehabilitation
- care and support
- case management
- specialist equipment
- adaptations to your home or vehicle
- travel and other expenses
- support with education or returning to work
- the longer-term effect on your everyday life
Where an injury has significant long-term consequences, a claim may also need to consider future care, treatment and support needs.
When the effects are not immediately obvious
Brain injuries can sometimes be difficult to recognise, particularly where there is no obvious physical injury.
A person may experience changes in memory, concentration, fatigue, mood, personality or behaviour following an accident. These changes can have a significant effect on work, relationships and everyday life.
Specialist medical evidence can help establish the nature of the injury and its likely longer-term impact. A specialist solicitor can arrange the appropriate assessments to support a potential claim.
