How can we help?
When someone suffers a head injury, the physical effects are often the most apparent. However, many individuals also experience serious emotional and psychological consequences as a result of their injury. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other emotional trauma can profoundly impact quality of life and the ability to work or carry out everyday activities. At Stephensons, our specialist personal injury solicitors understand the complex nature of these kinds of injuries and are here to help you pursue compensation if you have been affected.
A head injury is any kind of trauma to the head or brain, ranging from mild concussions to more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Alongside the physical toll, many people suffer from psychological effects such as PTSD or emotional distress. PTSD arising from a head injury may manifest through flashbacks, nightmares, heightened anxiety, and difficulty coping with daily routines. Emotional trauma can also include irritability, mood swings, memory issues, and difficulties with concentration. These symptoms can have long-term or even permanent impacts, making it essential to seek proper support and legal guidance.
Yes, if you have suffered a head injury due to someone else’s negligence – for example, in a road traffic accident, workplace incident, or public liability accident – and this has resulted in PTSD or emotional trauma, you may be eligible to claim compensation. Compensation can cover not only physical injuries but also psychological harm, loss of income, future care needs, and other related expenses. Every case is different, so it’s important to get tailored legal advice to understand your rights and the potential value of your claim.
At Stephensons, we have extensive experience in handling serious injury and amputation claims. We are recognised by The Legal 500 for our personal injury work, and our team includes members of the Law Society’s Personal Injury Accreditation Scheme and the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL). This demonstrates our commitment to achieving the highest standards of legal expertise and client care in the field of Personal Injury.
We recognise that no two cases are alike, and we work closely with our clients to understand the full impact of their injuries—physically, emotionally, and financially. Our solicitors strive to secure the maximum level of compensation while supporting you with sensitivity and respect throughout every stage of the legal process.
At Stephensons, we take a proactive and tailored approach to every case. Our serious injury solicitors will:
If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury that has led to PTSD or emotional trauma, you don’t have to face it alone. Our specialist team at Stephensons is here to help you get the compensation and support you deserve. Call us today on 0161 696 6235 or fill in our enquiry form to request a callback.
In most personal injury cases, you have three years from the date of the accident, or from the date of knowledge of your injury, to begin a compensation claim. However, there are exceptions, such as cases involving children or individuals lacking mental capacity. It's best to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
Your solicitor will help gather medical records, psychological assessments, witness statements, and any other relevant documents to support your claim. Photographs, accident reports, and financial records can also be helpful.
Yes, if the injured person is under 18 or unable to make legal decisions due to mental capacity issues, you may be able to act as a litigation friend and make a claim on their behalf.
Most personal injury claims are settled outside of court. However, if a settlement cannot be agreed upon or liability is denied, we will represent and support you through every step of the court process, subject to reasonable prospects of success.
In certain circumstances, such as road traffic accidents involving uninsured drivers, it may still be possible to claim through schemes like the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). We will assess all available options in your case.
At Stephensons, we know that the emotional and mental effects of a head injury can be just as significant as the physical consequences. If you’ve experienced PTSD or emotional trauma following a head injury that wasn’t your fault, we can help you seek justice and secure the compensation you need to aid your recovery. Call us on 0161 696 6235 or fill in our enquiry form to get started with your claim today.
