How can we help?
If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury while in the care of a private hospital, it can be devastating and life changing. Brain injuries arising from clinical negligence can profoundly affect your and your family's physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing. At Stephensons, our expert medical negligence solicitors understand the complexities of private hospital brain injury claims and are dedicated to securing the justice, compensation and support deserved.
A private hospital brain injury claim refers to legal action taken against private medical facilities or healthcare professionals when negligent treatment or substandard medical care has caused traumatic brain injuries or neurological harm to a patient. Common causes of such brain injuries may include surgical errors, delayed diagnosis or treatment, misdiagnosis, incorrect administration of anesthesia, medication errors, or negligent post-operative care. These injuries can range from mild cognitive impairment to significant long-term disabilities and may require extensive rehabilitative treatment and ongoing support.
You can claim compensation if your brain injury resulted from negligent treatment or medical malpractice provided by a private hospital or specialist. To succeed in your claim, you must prove that the medical professional or facility breached their duty of care, resulting in injury and associated losses. Compensation may cover pain and suffering, medical expenses including rehabilitation, loss of earnings and future earning capacity, care costs and adaptations to your home or vehicle. Stephensons' medical negligence solicitors can carefully assess your circumstances and advise if you have sufficient grounds to make a claim.

How long do I have to make a claim?
Generally, you have three years from the date of the injury, or from the date you first became aware that negligent care caused your brain injury, to bring your claim. Exceptions exist for children or individuals who lack mental capacity, but it is vital that you seek advice promptly
How much compensation can I expect to receive?
Each brain injury claim is unique, and the compensation awarded depends on factors such as injury severity, your age, the level of care required, and the overall financial losses incurred. Our solicitors can provide guidance once we have closely reviewed your circumstances.
Will I have to go to court?
Most cases settle without court proceedings; our solicitors are highly skilled negotiators committed to resolving claims quickly and out of court whenever possible. However, should court representation be necessary, we will support and guide you through every step.
Can I claim on behalf of a family member with a brain injury?
Yes, if a loved one lacks the mental capacity to claim due to brain injury severity, you can act as their "litigation friend" and pursue compensation on their behalf. Our solicitors can explain this process to you clearly.
