It is easy to understand how, when dealing with a loved one sustaining a serious traumatic brain injury, the last pressure that is needed is one of financial worry.
Our Brain Injury Solicitors can help you in the immediate aftermath of such an injury. We can make provision for ongoing care, financial security, complementary aids and support to enable as much independence and the best quality of life that is possible in the circumstances.
At PSR Solicitors, we have an exceptional team of highly trained legal professionals who can help you secure the maximum amount of compensation. This will cover private medical treatment, rehabilitation, counselling and specialist equipment to help you come to terms with your injury and live as independently as possible.
Your compensation award is there to recognise the significance of your injuries, redress the financial damage and physical harm caused and to ensure that you have access to all the services you require to give you the best chance of recovery, such as:
The amount of compensation you are likely to receive will depend on the extent of your injuries, the impact on you and your livelihood, how long your recovery is likely to take and the financial implications of what has happened to you.
Sustaining a brain injury can be catastrophic as the brain is integral to how we function. It is responsible for sending and receiving messages to and from the other parts of the body so if an injury interrupts these signals the effects are potentially devastating.
Brain injuries are usually caused by a violent blow or impact to the head or body, when an object penetrates the brain tissue or when blood or oxygen to the brain is restricted.
An Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is any type of brain injury happening after birth, and not as a result of a birth defect. ABIs include both traumatic and non-traumatic brain injuries.
A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a sudden blow to the head causing the brain to crash from side to side into the skull. This impact can lead to bruising, bleeding, and tearing of nerve fibre which disrupts the normal function of the brain.
Traumatic brain injuries are defined as being either mild, moderate or severe TBI.
Mild concussion may be treated with rest and medication, while severe brain injuries may have a life-altering impact on a person’s physical and mental abilities.
Symptoms include headaches, confusion and memory problems but these tend to be temporary and patients usually make a full recovery.
Symptoms can be more long-lasting but patients can usually expect to recover within a few months with the correct medical treatments and rehabilitation.
The effects are normally life-changing and permanent.
The terms mild, moderate and severe describe the effect of the injury on the brain function but they are all serious injuries that need swift medical attention. Specialist TBI Lawyers can help you get expert medical support for a traumatic brain injury, and get compensation to cover for loss of earnings, adaptations to home or vehicles, and any other expenses or losses you may have incurred.
Brain injuries are often categorised in one of three ways:
An open wound is present and an object has come into contact with the brain tissue. The prognosis is often positive as the injury is typically limited to one area of the brain.
Despite no visible symptoms, these injuries typically cause the most damage as a large area of the brain is often affected resulting in paralysis and ongoing cognitive and behavioural problems.
When the brain is compressed between two objects, there is risk of severe trauma not only to the brain but also to the base of the skull and neck, potentially damaging the spinal cord.
The degree of the damage done depends on the position, force and nature.
We would use PSR again without hesitation.
Always helpful and very responsive to any queries. Cannot fault them.
First class service, Barbara was excellent from start to finish in managing my recent purchase.
Your questions answered
Because of how sensitive the brain can be to impacts, brain injuries can be caused by many types of accidents. PSR Solicitors are experienced in supporting those who suffered traumatic brain injuries through the process of claiming compensation for accidents such as:
Due to the high speed, high impact nature of most road traffic accidents injuries, it is highly likely that head and brain injuries will be sustained. In fact, between 40% and 50% of all brain injuries are due to the person being involved in an accident on the road whether they are in a vehicle, on a bike or walking.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, a motorbike accident or a cycling accident due to at-fault drivers, or defective automotive parts or design, you may be entitled to compensation.
Slip, trip and fall accidents are very common, and they are often associated with minor injuries. However, they can sometimes cause more serious injuries, such as Traumatic Brain Injuries.
These accidents can be caused by many types of negligent behaviour, such as poor surface maintenance, lightning, or inadequate signage. Slips, trips and falls can often happen in public spaces, so having the support of expert Brain Injury Solicitors is vital in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
Workplace accidents can often cause Brain Injuries. Suffering an injury in the workplace can have traumatic consequences. Many types of work can involve heavy machinery, high voltage electricity, work vehicles, and other hazards.
If you have suffered because of a workplace accident caused by your employer’s negligence towards safety protocols, our Brain Injury Solicitors can help you get compensation.
Embarking on the legal process to claim compensation after an accident involving a serious injury such as a brain injury is understandably not a priority in the immediate days following the injury, but there are time limits for compensation claims for injuries.
The best advice is to seek guidance from a qualified Brain Injury Lawyer as early as possible. The sooner you get legal advice, the easier it will be to compile the evidence needed to make your compensation claim a compelling case for suitable compensation.
In general, under the law of England and Wales, personal injury claims must be made within three years of the date of the accident. Alternatively, they can be made within three years of the date it became clear that an illness or injury was caused by a particular accident or incident. This time limit may be extended though if the injured party was under the age of 18 at the time, or lacks the capacity to claim due to mental illness.
If you have sustained a brain injury during a criminal assault, and you are making a claim against the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA), there is a two-year time limit.
From a practical perspective though, you should not delay in making a start with the claim process. This is primarily because it will become significantly more difficult to gather the evidence you need for a successful claim the longer it is since the accident took place.
We have a reputation right across the industry for being the leading serious personal injury solicitors for North Wales and Cheshire and are highly experienced in this field.
We have worked on some of the most serious and complex types of brain injuries, regularly representing clients who have been forced into seeking compensation in relation to:

Solicitor - Head of Personal Injury
I've been a Solicitor at PSR Solicitors since March 2013 and am head of Personal Injury throughout the firm as well as having full responsibility for managing the Rhyl office.
I completed both my Law LLB and LPC degrees at Cardiff University, graduating in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Thereafter, I completed my 2-year training contract at a firm based in Cardiff, then I was retained by this firm as a Criminal Defence Solicitor until I decided to relocate up to North Wales.
As an experienced personal injury and civil litigation Solicitor, I represent Claimants in all manner of personal injury case work including injuries as a result of Road Traffic Accidents, Accidents at Work, and Occupiers Liability Accidents. I handle all types off personal injury claims from the minor right through to complex, serious injury claims.
Outside of work I'm a keen rugby fan, who enjoys running and travel.

Paul Rossiter LLB Law
Managing Director
I qualified as a solicitor in 1998 and worked as a Personal Injury Specialist throughout my legal career, dealing with high value serious injury cases obtaining both compensation and rehabilitation for my clients. I was a member of APIL (Association Of Personal injury Lawyers) and recognised by the Law Society as being a Senior Personal Injury Solicitor.
After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, I saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice. PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 and since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.
I live in Chester with my young family and 2 dogs and enjoy regular holidays along the coast of North Wales and Ibiza.
I have recently been asked to join the board of trustees at Platform For Life, a mental health counselling charity in Chester. Good mental health is the foundation of a more fulfilled, happy and healthy life, yet many families struggle to access the help and support they need to achieve it. Platform for Life offers free local counselling and play therapy for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

Solicitor - Head of Litigation

I completed my law degree and legal practice course at Nottingham Law School, before qualifying as a solicitor in 2004. I then worked at a specialist personal injury firm in the East Midlands and a leading regional firm, before joining PSR in 2017.
With PSR I've continued to specialise in acting for Personal Injury claimants and have developed a keen understanding of the procedures and tactics involved in pursuing a claim, as well as the difficulties and concerns faced by people who have suffered as the result of an accident.
Since 2014 I've been proud to help hundreds of people. I've represented the public in all manner of injury claims, including serious orthopaedic injuries, brain damage, and psychological trauma. I was instructed to deal with claims for clients in the aftermath of the Potters Bar rail crash and the Penhallow hotel fire.
In addition, I represent clients in relation to all manner of disputes. I have dealt with professional negligence claims, such as those against solicitors and builders. I have helped clients recover money which is due to them and to dispute invoices which have been sent to them. I have helped business defend claims against them. I have tackled neighbour and boundary disputes.
I live locally to the Colwyn Bay office, and outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of the coastal and mountain outdoor activities which are available on the doorstep. I'm also heavily involved with an outdoor pursuits charity, which I find an enjoyable and rewarding way of using my free time.

It is impossible to give an indication of the extent of recovery and the exact timescales involved because every brain injury is unique.
Unlike the majority of other cells in the body, brain cells are unable to regenerate when they’re destroyed but this does not mean that recovery is unattainable. The brain is an amazing and adaptable organ, reorganising, to an extent, so that other parts of the brain take over some functions the damaged part of the brain used to carry out. This is referred to as ‘brain plasticity’.
During rehabilitation, the key is maximising the new nerve pathways that are developed, and this is achieved by engaging in the appropriate levels of activity
In the first couple of months following a severe brain injury it is only possible to estimate the potential recovery time and the extent of the recovery, but it is likely to be months, rather than weeks.
Normally after six months the picture will be much clearer but it is common to wait a year before making any key decisions because by this time the medical experts will have a very clear picture of the extent of recovery.
Recovery tends to slow the greater the amount of time that passes after the injury, with the biggest recovery gains made in the first 6 months, but that is not to say that incremental recovery cannot occur beyond the 2 years post-injury.
There are many rehabilitation services available in the UK, both private and those run by the NHS. PRS’s injury lawyers have built a strong network of skilled medical experts that can help support you through this important period.
Throughout the rehabilitation cycle it is likely the environment where your rehabilitation is administered changes, here are the likely settings.
Inpatient rehabilitation: Neurological rehabilitation centres offer the ideal setting for intensive specialist rehabilitation for people not yet ready to return home after discharge from hospital. Here a personal rehabilitation programme will be developed and implemented throughout the day.
Outpatient rehabilitation: As individuals recover and become well enough to return home, they may need further treatment as an outpatient, this can be a rehabilitation centre or at the local hospital
Community rehabilitation: Following an inpatient rehabilitation stay at a neurological centre, some individuals may be transferred to a residential transitional living unit. This is a place where people can develop their independent living skills with the longer-term objective of moving home. In other cases, the person may go home immediately after being discharged, with a community rehabilitation team providing further rehabilitation and assistance in their home.
