How can we help?
Suffering a head injury can have long-term and life-changing consequences. One lesser-known but increasingly recognised effect is the development of chronic fatigue or brain fog following a head trauma. These symptoms can seriously impact your quality of life, affecting your ability to work, function daily, and maintain relationships. If you or a loved one are experiencing these symptoms due to someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to make a claim. At Stephensons, our expert personal injury solicitors are here to help.
Chronic fatigue is a persistent feeling of extreme tiredness or exhaustion that doesn't improve with rest and isn't directly caused by exertion. Brain fog, on the other hand, refers to a cluster of cognitive symptoms, including memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, and mental confusion or sluggishness. These conditions often occur together and are commonly reported in individuals who have suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or concussions.
While these symptoms may not be immediately apparent after the injury, they can surface days or even weeks later and may persist for months or years. In some cases, they may become a permanent part of the injured person’s life. Diagnosis typically requires input from medical specialists, and treatment may involve medication, cognitive therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and ongoing medical support.
Yes, if your head injury was caused by someone else's negligence, for example, in a road traffic accident, accident at work, slip or trip incident, or even an assault you may be able to make a personal injury claim. Compensation can help cover loss of earnings, medical treatment, rehabilitation costs, and the broader impact on your quality of life.
Claims of this nature often require expert medical evidence to establish the link between the head injury and your ongoing symptoms. At Stephensons, we work with leading medical professionals experienced in diagnosing and reporting on brain injuries and related conditions, ensuring your claim is supported by the strongest possible evidence.

In most cases, you must bring a personal injury claim within three years of the date of the accident or the date you became aware of your condition. There are exceptions as such we recommend speaking to us as soon..
You will typically need medical evidence linking the symptoms of chronic fatigue or brain fog to your head injury. We will work with independent medical experts to arrange assessments and reports to help establish your case. Witness statements, accident reports, and employment records can also be helpful.
Most personal injury claims are settled without the need for a court hearing. However, if liability is disputed or a fair settlement cannot be agreed, it may be necessary to take the matter before a judge. If this happens, our expert solicitors will represent you throughout the proceedings.
The amount of compensation depends on the severity of your symptoms, the impact on your daily life and work, and any financial losses you've incurred. We will always aim to secure the maximum amount of compensation possible for your situation.
Yes. If a loved one lacks the mental capacity to bring a claim themselves, for example, due to their brain injury you may be able to act as a litigation friend. We can advise you on how this process works and assist with making a claim on their behalf.

At Stephensons, we’re here to help you secure the compensation you deserve so you can focus on your recovery and future.
