Frequently Asked Questions

How Can Irwin Mitchell Help?

A serious head or brain injury can have a huge impact on a child so we’re here to help you secure funds to make things a little easier. Our solicitors can help you get compensation which can help your child with...

...the care needed for their injuries, education and future prospects.

Child brain and head injury claims need lawyers with specialist knowledge and experience to ensure that the child and their family receive the very best help and advice throughout their claim.

Claims involving children can take longer than normal because we have to establish the long-term impact of the injury. By claiming with us you can be reassured that we’ll keep you up-to-date throughout your claim while continually monitoring your child’s progress to make sure they get compensation to cover all the care they need.

As well as seeking compensation for you and your child, we’ll work closely with other teams to provide guidance on issues such as:

Rehabilitation
Medical care
Educational assistance
Family support
Accommodation issues

Our Public Law & Human Rights department can offer advice on Part 3 of the Children and Families Act 2014. This Act is designed to give young people (under the age of 25) with special education needs greater protection.

Please follow this link for more information, along with factsheets and template letters.

What Can Compensation Pay For?

Our solicitors will consider a number of things when deciding how much compensation your child should get to help with their head or brain injury. We’ll make sure that you receive a compensation figure that can pay for:

Long-term medical care
Educational help
Adaptions to your home and vehicle
Mobility equipment (such as wheelchairs)

The amount of compensation your child can receive will depend upon the severity of their injuries and whether they’re likely to make a full recovery. We’re aware that as a parent, you might have to take time off work or even quit your role to look after your child. Your compensation can take this into account and also help pay for home support.

As claims involving children can be particularly complex they may take longer than usual. In cases where the opponent has accepted responsibility we might be able to help you access early compensation payments to help pay for ongoing care and expenses.

If you think you might have a claim, feel free to get in touch on 0800 056 4110.

Who Can Make A Claim On Behalf Of A Child?

Our Serious Injury team is happy to be contacted by a parent, teacher or other professional on behalf of a child who has suffered a brain or head injury. Children under 18 cannot deal with their own compensation claim but an adult (usually a parent)...

...can deal with one on their behalf.

If you suffered a brain or head injury due to an accident when you were a child, we could help you claim after you’ve turned 18. You can make a claim of this type at any point until your 21^st birthday.

To make your claim as stress free as possible, we can travel to meet you and your child at home or in hospital as we appreciate that travelling might be difficult.
