A Brain Injury Claim is the legal action to seek compensation and a care package for those who have suffered this injury because of someone else’s negligence.
Our firm has decades of experience supporting claimants through the process of getting compensation. This is especially important for these life-changing accidents, as they can have serious repercussions on your day-to-day life.
Brain damage can affect a person’s ability to function in their everyday life. The more severe the injury, the more prominent the long-term impact is likely to be, but thought processing, memory, concentration, and ability to remember words and use language can all be affected.
As well as physical and cognitive changes, the emotional battle of living with a brain injury can be colossal and many people suffer from anxiety and depression as well as experiencing mood swings and increased irritability.
Proving the negligence of a third party has caused you brain damage from an injury is fundamental, and it can often prove difficult. We will fight for you in and out of court, ensuring you get the compensation you deserve. Brian Barr Solicitors has a proven track record of settling claims for much more than other firms predicted, and often obtaining six-figure settlements.

The severity of brain injury will vary, and as part of the claims process we will look at the immediate and longer term impacts of the accident. Once our specialists have made their assessment and liaised with medical professionals, we will be able to give you an idea of how much compensation you could receive.
Part of your brain injury settlement amount will be calculated based on the Judicial College Guidelines, which only consider the severity and type of injury.
This only makes up the part of your settlement known as “General Damages”. Our experts will use this as a starting point to calculate value, including additional factors that will be unique to your case. You will likely be able to claim for additional expenses incurred as a result of the accident, also known as “Special Damages”.

The legal process of claiming compensation for a brain injury must be started within 3 years of the date of the accident. There are, however, some circumstances in which this deadline may be extended or reduced.
Claims made for brain injuries suffered by a child can be made up to 3 years from their 18th birthday. Before then, a claim can be made at any time with the support of a parent or guardian.
If the injury is caused by a criminal assault, any compensation must be claimed within 2 years from the incident.
Other exceptions exist, for example, for claimants lacking mental capacity.
It should be noted that claims are valid up to 3 years from the date of knowledge, which is the date in which the full extent and effects of the accident are found.
If you are unsure about the validity of your claim, contact Brian Barr. Our expertise in this type of claims can ensure your compensation is pursued and obtained timely.

Brain injuries can be caused by a wide range of accidents, many of which involve negligence. The most common scenarios include road traffic collisions, accidents at work, medical negligence, falls from height, assaults, and sporting injuries. Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) are often the result of sudden impact or penetration, while Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI) may occur through lack of oxygen, stroke, or illness. If your injury was caused by another person or organisation failing in their duty of care, you may have grounds for a claim.
A brain injury claim can be made by the injured person, or by someone else on their behalf if they are a child or have lost the mental capacity to manage their affairs. In these cases, a loved one can act as a “litigation friend” to support the claim. Claims for children can be made at any point until they turn 18, after which the standard 3-year limitation period begins. For those lacking capacity, there may be no time limit at all under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
Yes. Brain injuries in children can result from birth trauma, accidents at school, road traffic accidents, or medical negligence. Because children may not immediately show signs of neurological damage, it is important to monitor their development closely and seek legal advice as soon as a brain injury is suspected. Claims can be brought at any point before the child turns 18, with the three-year limitation period starting on their 18th birthday.
Evidence will typically include medical records, neurological assessments, imaging scans (such as CT or MRI), witness statements, accident reports, and expert medical opinions outlining the extent and long-term implications of the injury. Financial documentation showing loss of earnings, care needs, and other expenses is also crucial. At Brian Barr Solicitors, we arrange comprehensive medical evaluations and liaise with leading specialists to ensure no aspect of your case is overlooked.
No, you are not obligated to use the solicitor or law firm recommended by your insurance provider.
Often your insurance company or union will refer you to their legal provider, however if they are not specialists in chronic pain and serious injury litigation then your claim could be misunderstood and undervalued, resulting in you not receiving the compensation you deserve.
We are dedicated and passionate about helping our clients in a caring, understanding and professional manner, and are committed to building strong relationships with our clients and providing them with access to the leading experts whose understanding of serious injury is second to none. We will support you at every stage and keep you updated on progress throughout your claim.
In serious brain injury cases, it is sometimes possible to secure interim payments before the full settlement is reached. These payments can be used to fund urgent needs such as care, rehabilitation, or home adaptations. Our solicitors frequently negotiate interim settlements where liability has been admitted, ensuring that financial pressure is relieved while your claim progresses.
Every claim is unique, and people may want to instruct a different firm for different reasons. Some of the reasons we have seen clients move their claim to our team include:
A need for understanding or expertise – this is common in complex personal injury cases, such as brain injury, chronic pain or fibromyalgia, and can be extremely frustrating if your representative lacks experience in this specialist area
The settlement amount you have been predicted to receive is insufficient to pay for your damages and expenses
Whether you are just starting your claim or are close to settlement, if you’re unhappy with the progress being made on your brain injury claim, you are entitled to transfer your case over to the experts at Brian Barr.
Our experts can often support claimants in brain injury cases on a No Win No Fee basis, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA).
We regularly have cases transferred to us because of our specialist knowledge in various areas of personal injury law, and we will handle everything for you, so please get in touch and let us help you get the ball rolling and the outcome you require to provide the best quality of life possible.
