What our clients say...

 Just a quick note to thank you so much for all your hard work in relation to the eventual claim settlement.  I have appreciated all your efforts and thoughts about the future that I probably would never have considered, but with your practised eye you got it all sorted. Thank you once again - you did a brilliant job.

Mother of injured boy calls for teenage brain injury unit in Wales

08/03/2010

Alex Hughes from Cardiff was attacked while on holiday in Majorca and left with serious head injuries. 

At the moment he is being treated on a ward with elderly patients in at the Rookwood Hospital in, Cardiff.

The hospital has few young patients andAs a result Alex’s mother fears that when he is not in physio or speech therapy he is getting bored.

There is no specialist centre in Wales for teenagers with brain injuries. The Welsh Assembly government has said that such a facility would not be sustainable.

Jonathan Peacock, brain injury lawyer with Irwin Mitchell said: “From working with our clients with brain injury we know the importance of early rehabilitation including specialist physiotherapy and occupational therapy input. Early intervention gives the best chance of a good outcome after serious head injury. We would support any initiative which helped to ensure that young people with acquired brain injury received the therapies they needed in an age appropriate setting.”
