Brain Injury Compensation Claims

Every situation is different when it comes to brain injury compensation claims. As one of the biggest personal injury litigation firms in the country we have expert lawyers that focus on brain injury related claims and can help you determine your rights quickly and easily.

In order for a brain injury compensation claim to be successful, lawyers generally need to prove:

• A person, business or facility was careless
• You have suffered as a result of this carelessness
• You will continue to suffer in the future

After speaking with one of our brain injury claims experts, we’ll be able to inform you of your rights going forward and help you understand exactly what you can be compensated for.

In most cases, it’s the insurance company of the person/company who is responsible for the negligent act that will pay the compensation.

The person/company themselves generally won’t pay out of their own pocket. Their insurance company will deal with everything.

After an acquired brain injury or traumatic brain injury, we understand a high level of support, care and rehabilitation may be needed to help improve things. Often, there are aspects of ones life that will never improve.

Depending on how serious you brain injury is, your claim could include compensation for:

• Loss of earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Home and yard modifications
• The cost of special equipment including insurance and maintenance costs
• Technical equipment which may assist with memory
• Equipment to help with difficulties
• Paid nursing, respite or support worker care
• Costs for maintaining your rehabilitation
• Medical supplies and pharmaceutical expenses
• Psychological and psychiatric support
• Costs associated with managing your compensation

The types of things you can claim for depends on your individual needs and the recommendations made by medical professionals.

Brain injury compensation claims can be quite complicated due to medical and legal issues.

After what’s happened, it’s important that your injuries are allowed to stabilise before your legal team can accurately assess the impact they will have on your life now and in the future.

It’s remains very important though, that you seek legal advice as soon as possible following a brain injury as time limits to apply to these types of claims.
