If you have suffered a head or brain injury in an accident and you pursue a claim for compensation, it is vital to employ a solicitor who is a specialist in advising clients with head injuries. What happens if you have suffered a serious injury and you feel that your solicitor has let you down and harmed your chances of recovering fair compensation from a legal claim?
Your first option is to express your concerns to your solicitor or to make a formal complaint. If that does not get you anywhere, and your claim is still ongoing, it may be possible to ask for a new solicitor to take on your claim, ensuring that they have specialist knowledge and experience in head injuries It may not be too late to turn your case around for the better.
If this applies to you, it is always worth at least contacting us to see whether we can help put your claim back into good shape.
Failure of professional legal advice and representation
If your claim has concluded and you feel that the outcome has been affected by neglect on the part of your solicitor, you may benefit from taking advice about a professional negligence claim. Unfortunately we have seen many examples over the years of non-specialist solicitors or claims companies taking on head and brain injury clients and failing to fully prepare or successfully conclude the case. This can happen where the lawyer has not used specialist head injury experts to advise on injuries, has failed to look into important areas of financial loss or has simply not understood their client’s specialist needs. It can even be a simple matter of missing time limits.
Proving professional negligence – our services
We can provide an expert service in looking after clients where a previous legal case has gone wrong, and you might have the right to pursue your solicitor for negligence. Claims in professional negligence are not straightforward and even if proven any compensation payable will be for the loss of a chance of a better outcome to your claim, and interest. However, as we have an understanding of head and brain injuries, and of how to manage a head injury claim properly, we can give you expert guidance on whether a professional negligence claim can be pursued.
