Head Injury & Brain Injury Compensation Claims
Claim compensation for your head or brain injury
If you’ve suffered a head or brain injury, our specialist lawyers could help you claim compensation. Irwin Mitchell has championed the cause of rehabilitation for a long time, something that was recognised as long ago as 1999 when our brain injury teams won "The Lawyer National Client Care Award". Rehabilitation has remained at the heart of our legal work for brain injuries ever since. In 2008 we won the Rehab First Award based in part upon one of our brain injury cases.

Head and brain injuries
Each year thousands of people can claim compensation after suffering head injuries. After a head injury, symptoms such as poor concentration, personality changes, memory loss, fatigue and many others can severely affect everyday activities. Head injuries can even lead to severe physical disability and permanent brain damage.

How we’ll help you with your brain injury claim and rehabilitation
We combine our highly-rated legal service to secure maximum compensation with a thorough rehabilitation programme to help improve your quality of life.
85% of adults who sustain severe head injuries and 63% who sustain moderate head injuries remain disabled one year after their accident. Even patients with minor head injuries have problems: after 3 months, 79% still have persistent headaches, 59% have memory problems and 34% are still unemployed.
That’s why we go beyond compensation claims and place an emphasis on rehabilitation. Where appropriate we help our clients to access ongoing rehabilitation services, therapy, suitable housing, transport, aids and equipment, and care support. All this helps them pursue an active lifestyle in the community.
