Instructing a brain injury solicitor on behalf of someone else is particularly common when the injured party is unable to manage their own legal affairs due to the severity of their condition. Here are situations where this might occur:
Legal Guardianship: If the injured individual is a minor or has been deemed to lack mental capacity, a parent, legal guardian, or a person with a lasting power of attorney can instruct solicitors on their behalf.
Severe Brain Injury: For cases involving severe brain injuries where the individual is unable to make informed decisions, family members or close friends might be able to act as litigation friends. This role allows them to make legal decisions on behalf of the injured person.
Temporary Representation: Even in less severe cases, if the injured person is temporarily unable to communicate their wishes due to hospitalisation, intensive medical care, or recovery, a spouse or family member may be able to instruct solicitors to start the process.
In all cases, it is crucial to have clear and lawful authority to act on another’s behalf. Solicitors at Brian Barr are skilled in navigating these sensitive circumstances, ensuring that all legal actions are compliant with current laws and truly reflective of the injured party’s best interests.

Contact Brian Barr Solicitors today for a free, no-obligation assessment of your case, and find out how we can help you reach the best possible outcome after a traumatic injury.
There are three types of brain injury, Traumatic Brain Injury and Subtle Brain Injury.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when the brain is subject to serious trauma due to a head injury, which can often occur as a result of a road traffic accident, an assault, or a fall or an accident at work or home. After suffering from an injury, the patient may feel sick, dizzy and fall unconscious and there may be visible signs of damage to the head. The patient may also suffer headaches, fatigue, irritability and memory problems over the coming weeks and months.
The long-term effects and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury depend on a number of factors, including the severity and location of the injury and the initial period of unconsciousness following the trauma. The main symptoms of a traumatic brain injury include:
The brain is a complex organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger and every process that regulates the body.
Depending on how severe the injury is, rehabilitation may be necessary in order to teach the brain alternative ways to function to help to minimise the risk of long-term brain damage.
An acquired brain injury (ABI) is any instance of brain damage that transpires after birth. This can include traumatic injuries, however ABIs can also happen following:
Many of these events can result from cases of medical negligence or other situations in which the sufferer was owed a duty of care, and this duty has been breached by a third party. In these cases, you could still have a valid case, and our Brain Injury Lawyers can help you reach an outcome that works for you.
A subtle brain injury usually occurs when the brain is subject to trauma after an injury, which similarly may be due to a car accident, fall, or an accident at work.
However, often the trauma may not appear to be too serious at first, especially if there are no visible signs of injury.
Commonly, the person will appear completely uninjured and only close family and friends will notice a change in the person’s cognitive and behavioural behaviour.
The most common long-term symptoms of subtle brain injuries include:
The long-term effects of a subtle brain injury depend on a number of factors, including the severity of the injury and where it’s located.
However, there may be some damage to the brain after an accident which may cause long-term, disabling symptoms.
