How can we help?
If you or a loved one has suffered from a concussion injury due to medical negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. At Stephensons, we understand how traumatic the aftermath of a concussion can be, impacting both your health and your livelihood. Our highly experienced medical negligence solicitors are dedicated to helping you claim the recompense you deserve, guiding you compassionately through the claims process every step of the way.
A concussion is a form of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), often caused by an impact or a sudden jolt to the head. Common signs and symptoms of concussion include headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, memory problems, and behavioural changes. In certain cases, symptoms may not appear immediately after the incident but develop gradually over time, making accurate and prompt diagnosis critical. Left untreated, concussions can lead to serious long-term complications, such as chronic headaches, cognitive impairment, and emotional difficulties.
You can claim compensation for a concussion injury when it results directly from medical negligence or substandard care. To successfully make a claim, it is essential to demonstrate that a healthcare provider owed you a duty of care, breached this duty by acting negligently, and directly caused your concussion and resulting injuries as a consequence.

Generally, you have three years from the date of negligence or the date you became aware of the injury caused by negligence, to lodge a compensation claim. There are exceptions depending on age and mental capacity, so it's imperative to seek legal advice promptly.

Our expert solicitors will thoroughly assess your situation to ensure you receive appropriate compensation.
Yes. If your concussion symptoms were missed, delayed, or misdiagnosed due to clinical negligence, you may have grounds to make a claim. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for concussion recovery, and delays or errors in diagnosis may result in further harm.
Most concussion injury claims are settled out of court through negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your claim may proceed to court. Our solicitors will guide you through this process seamlessly, offering support and advice at every step.
