Brain Injuries

We are specialists in acting for those who are involved in accidents which lead to them acquiring traumatic head and brain injuries. Damian Short and Jane Gilbert, two members of the Personal Injury team of Cozens-Hardy LLP, are Directors and respectively Company Secretary and Chairman of Headway Norfolk & Waveney. As such we have particular insight into the special problems caused by such injuries, for example:-

the concerns and difficulties our clients and their families face on a day to day basis

the fact that the claim for compensation is only one of the issues which clients and their families face after a traumatic brain injury

that compensation from the claim alone is not enough

Damian Short recently received the following comments regarding his handling of brain injury cases:-

"At our first meeting, it was evident to me, that you have sound knowledge of the impact of head injury to the family as a whole."

"You showed empathy to my family whilst remaining very focused and professional and we had no doubt, that whatever the outcome, it would be the best that could be achieved on the evidence available."

"We consider ourselves fortunate in being directed to you, because I am well aware, that with a less experienced Solicitor woking on the case, the outcome could have been very different."

As a result of our experience and expertise we have helped our clients receive significant sums in compensation. But we have also been able to help them:-

access specialist rehabilitation services

put in place the care regimes they need

purchase and/or adapt housing to suit their needs

purchase specialist transport/vehicles to overcome mobility problems

purchase specialist communication equipment and IT

We are approved by the National Charity Headway to conduct claims on behalf of those who have suffered head injuries. We are on the Law Society Personal Injury panel, we are members of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and Senior Litigator members of the Council of Personal Injury Lawyers.

We operate a free initial interview and advice scheme. We are happy to see clients at home or at a hospital and are able to offer a variety of ways of funding a claim, including but not limited to "No Win, No Fee" agreements.
