Why head injury claims are complex and require expert legal help

Head injuries vary in severity, from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). These injuries can impact memory, speech, mobility, behaviour, and work ability. Because of their complexity, head injury claims often require input from a range of specialists, including neurologists, occupational therapists, and mental health professionals.

Often, injuries do not show immediate symptoms. This delayed onset can complicate diagnosis and affect compensation claims. Solicitors with experience in brain injury cases will know how to gather the necessary evidence, including medical records, MRI scans, accident reports, and witness statements, to prove your case.

At Marley Solicitors, we work with both NHS and private medical experts, often including those from Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, to ensure your condition is thoroughly assessed and well-documented.

Common causes of head injuries in Woburn

• Road traffic accidents – These include car, motorcycle, bicycle and pedestrian accidents. Even low-speed collisions can cause significant head trauma.
• Slips, trips and falls – These often occur in shops, pavements, or poorly maintained workplaces. A fall can result in a skull fracture or brain bleeding.
• Workplace incidents – Construction sites, factories, and warehouses carry risks of falling objects or machinery-related accidents.
• Medical negligence – Mistakes during surgery, misdiagnoses, or poor post-operative care can also cause brain damage.

Long-term consequences of head injuries and why compensation matters

Head injuries can affect every part of your life, not just in the short term. Many people experience:

• Memory loss or reduced concentration
• Speech and communication difficulties
• Changes in personality or behaviour
• Loss of independence and mobility
• Depression, anxiety, or PTSD
• Reduced earning capacity or job loss

These challenges require long-term care, counselling, and sometimes home adaptations or live-in support. Compensation is not just about receiving money, it’s about restoring quality of life.

3. Building the case – We liaise with doctors, therapists, employers and witnesses.
4. Submission and negotiation – We present your case and negotiate with insurers or proceed to court if required.
5. Outcome and payout – Compensation is awarded and paid into your account, often in instalments or as a lump sum.
