How can we help?
Suffering a head injury can be life-changing, particularly when it results in long-term memory loss. This type of injury doesn't just affect your health – it can impact your ability to work, maintain relationships, and sustain your quality of life. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation.
At Stephensons, our experienced personal injury solicitors have helped many individuals recover compensation following traumatic head injuries. We understand the legal complexities of these cases and the emotional and financial strain they can place on you and your loved ones. We’re here to offer clear guidance, expert advice, and compassionate support every step of the way.
A head injury with long-term memory loss typically occurs when the brain experiences a significant impact or trauma that disrupts normal cognitive function. This can be the result of road traffic collisions, slips, trips or falls, accidents at work, or assaults. Memory loss may involve difficulties retaining new information (short-term memory), recalling past events (long-term memory), or both. The effects vary depending on the severity and location of the injury but can be profound and enduring.
In some cases, victims may also experience additional symptoms such as mood swings, confusion, difficulty concentrating, or changes in personality. These are often part of a broader condition known as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and can require extensive rehabilitation and long-term care.
Yes, if you have sustained a head injury resulting in memory loss due to someone else’s negligence or fault, you may be able to claim compensation. To succeed in a claim, it must be shown that another party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injury as a result.
Compensation can help cover a wide range of losses including:

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the injury – or the date you became aware of it – to start a claim.

Yes, if the injured party is unable to manage their own legal affairs due to their condition, a family member or close friend can act as a 'litigation friend' to bring the claim on their behalf.
Key evidence often includes medical reports, accident reports, witness statements, CCTV footage (if available), and documentation of financial losses such as payslips or receipts for treatment costs.
The majority of head injury claims are resolved through negotiation and settlement without the need for a court hearing. If a trial is necessary, we will represent you every step of the way.
