Claiming Compensation For A Brain Injury

If you have had a brain injury and the cause of the injury was not your fault then you may be eligible for personal injury compensation. Your brain injury may have meant you are reliant upon others for care; you have had to give up your job and/or you have had to pay for home adaptation or rehabilitation out of your own money. A brain injury claim will consider such factors and the level of your pain and suffering will also be taken into account.
