How can we help?
A brain haemorrhage is a serious and potentially life-altering medical condition that can have devastating consequences for individuals and their families. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain haemorrhage due to an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to make a compensation claim. At Stephensons, our experienced personal injury solicitors understand the complex nature of these types of injuries and can offer expert legal support to help you secure the compensation you deserve.
A brain haemorrhage, also known as an intracranial haemorrhage, occurs when there is bleeding in or around the brain. This can result from a sudden trauma such as a car accident, fall, or blow to the head. The bleeding can place pressure on the brain tissue, potentially causing serious health issues including brain damage, loss of motor skills, speech difficulties, and in some cases, death.
There are several types of brain haemorrhages, including subdural, epidural, subarachnoid, and intracerebral haemorrhages. Each type varies in cause and severity, but all require urgent medical intervention. The road to recovery can be extremely challenging and may involve ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
Yes, you can claim compensation for a brain haemorrhage if it was caused by the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Common causes include road traffic accidents, workplace incidents, slips and trips, criminal assault or medical negligence. In such cases, a brain haemorrhage claim can help cover the cost of medical expenses, loss of earnings, care and rehabilitation, and the emotional impact of the injury.
The amount of compensation awarded will depend on the severity of the injury, the long-term effects on your life and livelihood, and the specific circumstances of the incident. At Stephensons, we assess every case individually to provide realistic and accurate advice on your potential claim.

Compensation varies depending on the severity and long-term impact of the injury. Factors such as loss of income, care needs, and pain and suffering are considered when calculating the amount.
The duration of a claim can vary depending on the complexity of the case and whether the opposing party accepts liability. Straightforward cases may take several months, while more complex claims can take longer.
Yes, if a loved one has suffered a brain haemorrhage and is unable to make a claim themselves due to capacity issues or age, you may be able to act as a litigation friend and make a claim on their behalf.
You may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partly to blame. This is known as contributory negligence and may reduce the amount of compensation you receive, but it will not necessarily prevent you from making a claim.
We may be able to help you access interim payments to cover urgent financial needs while your claim is ongoing, provided liability has been admitted by the responsible party.
Most claims are settled out of court, but if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may go to court. We will support and guide you throughout this process, ensuring your case is presented with the strongest possible evidence.
