How can we help?
If you or someone you know has suffered a traumatic brain injury, it can have devastating impacts on your life. The consequences of such injuries often include long-term physical, emotional and cognitive difficulties, placing significant stress on both the victim and their family. At Stephensons, we understand the complexity and sensitivity involved in traumatic brain injury claims and offer compassionate yet rigorous legal support to those seeking compensation.
A traumatic brain injury (often abbreviated as TBI) is a specific type of acquired brain injury typically caused by sudden trauma to the head. Common causes include accidents, slips, road traffic collisions, workplace incidents, and medical errors. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may involve headaches, memory loss, cognitive impairments, mood changes, speech and physical disabilities. Severe traumatic brain injuries can permanently alter a person's quality of life, necessitating ongoing care, rehabilitation and financial support.
If you or your loved one has experienced a traumatic brain injury due to someone else's negligence or incompetence, you could be entitled to claim compensation. Claiming compensation helps pay for crucial services, which may include rehabilitation, medical treatments, loss of earnings, home adaptations and ongoing care and assistance.
To successfully claim compensation, you must demonstrate that the injury was caused by another party’s negligence, whether it's a negligent healthcare provider, employer, motorist or public authority. At Stephensons, our experienced solicitors can guide you through assessing whether you have a strong basis to make a compensation claim, ensuring all aspects of your suffering and future needs are properly accounted for.

In most cases, you have three years from the date of injury or from the date you became aware of negligence to initiate your compensation claim. There are exceptions, particularly where the injured person is a child or lacks mental capacity. We advise contacting our solicitors as soon as possible for guidance specific to your situation.
Every TBI claim is unique, and the amount you may receive depends on numerous factors, including the severity of the injury, financial losses, care needs and the impact on your life. Our specialist solicitors thoroughly assess your case to ensure you receive the maximum compensation amount you deserve.
Traumatic brain injury claims are complex, and the duration depends upon the complexity of your circumstances, the severity of the injury and whether liability is disputed. While some claims may conclude relatively quickly, many require a longer duration to ensure thorough evaluation and an appropriate settlement.
Yes, Stephensons can handle traumatic brain injury claims on a no win, no fee basis (conditional fee agreements). Our solicitors will explain clearly how this process works and ensure you are fully informed before proceeding.
