Brain and Head Injuries

It is a sad fact that horse riders are more vulnerable to brain injuries than those that take part in more sedate leisure activities/sporting careers.

The effects of a brain injury can be both severe and varied, and often have life changing consequences which can leave our client’s and their loved ones feeling overwhelmed. In addition to having to come to terms with the injury itself there can be an endless stream of practical considerations which need to be addressed.

At HorseSolicitor we recognise that early proactive steps are essential to aid the road to recovery for both our clients and their families.

We vigorously pursue interim payments in order to ease the financial burden from which our clients are suffering.

Whilst we value the NHS, we work with other brain injury professionals to ensure that the public and private sectors are working effectively in tandem to provide the best possible treatment for our clients.

We can arrange case management, private care and support in returning to work. We can also arrange more tangible assistance such as adapted accommodation and transport where appropriate.

When cases settle we assist our clients with setting up personal injury trusts which prevent large settlements from being counted towards means tested benefits.

Brain injury cases require highly specialised knowledge and clients who are represented by non-specialist solicitors can often miss out on the valuable help and support to which they are entitled.

One of HorseSolicitor’s Directors has been dealing with complex brain injury cases for more than a decade and has secured millions of pounds in damages for his clients as well as helping to put in place the building blocks that enable them to move on with their lives.
