A child brain injury can occur after being involved in a serious accident at an early age. This can result in significant consequences which may, in some cases, last for many years. Advising a family after a child has suffered a head or brain injury is an extremely specialised field. When legal advice is needed, it is crucial to get that advice from experienced child brain injury lawyers who have the knowledge, sensitivity and understanding to give the reassurance that the family needs in making a child brain injury claim.
Support after brain injury
Child brain injury can happen in many different ways but most commonly as a result of road collisions or accidents in public places. Sometimes brain injury can occur as the result of assault, for example when a young child or baby is deliberately shaken or ill treated. After the child receives medical care for his or her injuries, the process of rehabilitation can be a long one. After head injuries there are often challenges that lie ahead in many different areas, for example with behaviour, returning to family life and problems with schooling.
If this is your son or daughter, or a child for whom you are responsible as a guardian or foster parent, you will want the very best for them and the reassurance of knowing that you are dealing with solicitors that are fully familiar with the challenges of child brain injury.
Sensitive handling of child head injury claims
As specialist child brain injury lawyers, we are able to recognise those challenges and plan for the careful handling of a child brain injury claim. We will not rush to judge how quickly a child might recover from his or her injuries, and we will ensure that the right specialist advice is available at the right time. For example we can support the family in looking at any special educational needs, consider a referral to a brain injury case manager and put the family in touch with support groups of individuals who have been through a similar experience.
It's more than just compensation
We support the Child Brain Injury Trust in their work, activities and campaigns for children affected by serious head injury, and we share their values. We also look beyond the compensation claim, and offer integrated legal services for children looking at the needs of children and their family and carers
