Each year, an estimated 1 million people in the UK go to hospital as a result of a brain or head injury. Leigh Day & Co solicitors specialise in brain injury compensation claims for individuals who have suffered injury to the head, brain or spine. When a serious injury happens to the head, brain or spine, it can have devastating and life-changing consequences.

Legal action will never restore your health, but it can provide the means to improve your quality of life. Early rehabilitation, assistance with equipment and access to expert medical help are all issues on which you need practical advice as quickly as possible and with the minimum of fuss. Our solicitors know how to maximise your chances of recovery through the legal process.

While a good solicitor cannot offer medical advice a law firm can help to ensure that, where possible, there is  compensation to pay for any course of medical treatment needed.  Our lawyers use skill and expertise to press forward with getting interim payments from the defendants insurers to cover your medical and rehabilitation expenses.

We have been involved in the following cases:

• compensation for a man whose spinal cord was severed in a criminal assault
• record damages for an advertising executive who suffered terrible injuries following an horrific car crash
• children who have acquired brain injuries due to delayed diagnosis or failure to diagnose a serious infection such as meningitis, listerial meningitis or encephalitis caused by herpes
• cerebral palsy caused by lack of oxygen during birth or pregnancy
• compensation for a man left paraplegic after a cycling accident
• a child with brain damage caused by a needle stabbing the head during an amniocentesis.

No matter how difficult it has been for us over the last few years, you have been sympathetic, encouraging, and honourable towards us, and have always acted with integrity.  These are great strengths, not be lost in an era where they so often appear to be becoming redundant. Personal injury client
