Brain damage claims

Brain damage can have life changing implications for victims and their families. If you or anyone you know has experienced brain damage as a result of medical negligence, compensation may be available.

Our brain damage medical negligence specialists can provide the expert advice needed to determine whether you or someone you know has a brain damage negligence claim. We offer advice and guidance on what you should do next.

Brain damage symptoms

• Loss of speech and/or memory;
• Difficulty with concentration, walking, balance and co-ordination;
• Weakness or paralysis;
• Speed of thought;
• Memory loss;
• Changes in emotional reaction and behaviour; and
• Altered sense of smell, taste, touch.

In cases of serious brain injuries, the likelihood of permanent disability is great. They include neurocognitive deficits, delusions, speech or movement problems and mental handicap. There will also be personality changes. The most severe cases result in coma or even persistent vegetative state. Even a mild incident can have long term effects or cause symptoms to appear years later.
