How can we help?
If you or a loved one has experienced ongoing symptoms following a head injury, you may be suffering from post-concussion syndrome. This condition, often misunderstood and underestimated, can have a profound effect on quality of life, work, and everyday functioning. At Stephensons, we understand the complexities of this condition and the impact it can have. Our team of specialist personal injury solicitors is here to support you in making a post-concussion syndrome claim.
Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) is a complex disorder in which various symptoms — such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and difficulties with concentration — persist for weeks or even months after the initial head injury. While most people recover from a concussion within a few days or weeks, those with PCS may continue to experience symptoms well beyond what is considered normal recovery time.
PCS often arises following a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), commonly caused by incidents such as road traffic accidents, slips and trips, falls, sporting accidents or workplace injuries. The exact cause of PCS is not fully understood, but it is believed to be linked to a combination of structural brain damage and emotional factors such as stress and anxiety. This makes it a challenging condition to diagnose and treat — which is why expert legal support is crucial when pursuing compensation.
Yes, you may be entitled to make a compensation claim if your post-concussion syndrome was caused by an accident that was not your fault. Compensation can help cover loss of earnings, medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and the overall impact on your quality of life. It can also acknowledge the pain and suffering you have endured due to the condition.
To make a claim, you will need to show that your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence. This could include an employer failing to maintain safe working conditions, a driver causing a road accident, or a local authority failing to prevent public hazards. Our personal injury specialists will work closely with you to gather medical evidence, assess the severity of your condition, and demonstrate the long-term effects of your symptoms as part of your claim.

Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to bring a compensation claim. However, this may vary in certain circumstances, such as if the injured person is under 18 or lacks mental capacity or in other specific types of case where time limits can be shorter. It’s best to seek early legal advice to avoid any issues with time limits.
Your case will rely on medical evidence showing a diagnosis of post-concussion syndrome and demonstrating the impact it has had on your life. We will also gather witness statements, accident reports and financial documentation to build a strong case on your behalf.
Yes, you can still make a claim if the accident made an existing condition worse. Our solicitors are experienced in dealing with complex medical histories and will ensure your case is thoroughly assessed.
Compensation amounts vary depending on the severity of your symptoms, the extent of your financial losses, and how long you’ve been affected. We will work with medical experts to provide a detailed valuation of your claim.
Most personal injury claims are settled without the need to attend court. However, if your claim does proceed to a hearing, we will provide strong representation and support throughout the process.
