Advice for Head and Brain Injuries
Head and brain injuries can have a wide range of repercussions, with every victim of such accidents being different. For anyone considering pursuing a personal injury claim, one of the key questions is this: who to go to for advice?
Although there are free advisory services that can offer advice such as the Citizen’s Advice Bureau or your local solicitor, there are numerous factors that make a specialist lawyer worth considering when a brain or head injury is involved.
The first factor is the accident itself. Lawyers specialising in this particular kind of injury are able to assist with presenting the accident to the court in the best possible manner. They are also more likely to be experienced with reconstructions and expert evidence, and will also be familiar with the type of medical evidence on which the courts will require.
Secondly is the severity of the consequences. Injuries in the head and brain area can result in significant changes to the victim’s life, with a great impact on their employment and/or business life. Lawyers with expert knowledge of this area will frequently.
Second, the severity of the consequences. Head injuries can result in significant alterations to the victim’s daily life, and may impact significantly on their employment or business. Lawyers with detailed knowledge of this area frequently have experts whose qualifications and knowledge they are able to recommend, such as physiotherapists, neurologists or other medical practitioners.
Third, and most importantly, damages. A specialist lawyer should be best placed to calculate the correct level of damages that should be claimed. They will also be able to advise on the prospect of claiming ‘interim’ payments. These are damages that are paid to a claimant where their claim looks likely to succeed, and permit them to put certain arrangements in place before the litigation process has concluded.
Fourth, timing. Not all consequences of a head or brain injury are immediately apparent. In cases where the symptoms take time to fully develop, a specialist solicitor is able to advise on how and when to commence a claim.
Finally, living arrangements. A specialist will be able to assist a claimant to arrange their affairs so that the consequences of the injury are anticipated and provided for. They will be able to help with matters like power of attorney, dealing with third parties, such as employers or banks, and putting claimants in touch with specialists who are equipped to assist them manage their daily affairs.
In cases of all severity, it is worth giving consideration to getting specialist legal advice. Though in some cases their time may seem more expensive, in the long run it can often prove to be the right decision.
