The service I received from start to finish was exceptional, everything was dealt with a timely and professional manner! I was kept informed throughout and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I will most definitely be recommending this company to all. Well done PSR
Excellent service and professional staff.
Recently I was knocked off my bike by a motorist, leaving me requiring shoulder surgery and time off work. My case was handled so professionally by PSR solicitors at the Rhyl office, I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Really professional and friendly. They took away all the stress and made life very easy for me. Would 100% recommend PSR Solicitors.

Some legal firms don’t use qualified solicitors to deal with head injury accidents anymore. At PSR Solicitors however we believe that your case deserves special attention from a dedicated solicitor.
The head is unfortunately subject to injury in many types of accidents. Head injuries can have devastating effects, and can happen from virtually any type of trauma. Our expert Head Injury Solicitors have supported victims of head injuries in many cases, but some of the most common causes of head injuries are:
The wide variety of accidents that can lead to a serious head injury may leave you confused as to who should be held accountable for your accident. Our specialist Head Injury Solicitors can help you through the legal process, and ensure you get the best possible outcome for your case.
If you have suffered from a serious head injury in the past three years and feel that someone else is accountable, then you may be eligible for compensation.
Whether your symptoms are short-term or permanent, you will still have experienced pain, inconvenience and financial costs through no fault of your own and you deserve to be fully compensated for what has happened to you.
The first step is to contact one of our personal injury solicitors. You can do this by phone, email or by completing the online enquiry form. We will then gather more detailed information from you including where and how the injury occurred, who else was involved and whether there were any witnesses present. We will then be able to advise on how likely you are to have a successful case, the amount you can expect to receive, and what to do next.
There are strict time limits in place for personal injury compensation cases. Usually, Court proceedings must be started within 3 years of the incident. However, if the person is under the age of 18 at the time of the injury the time limit is extended until that person’s 21st birthday. Also, under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 the time limit does not apply if someone is unable to manage their own affairs.
The compensation paid out for a serious head injury is dependent on the severity of your injury and the impact it has on your life. The first part of the amount you receive is for the pain and suffering caused by the injury itself, and will be valued according to Court guidelines based on previous case law of similar accidents. The second part is for the financial losses you have suffered. This will depend on your circumstances, but may include the following areas:
Serious head injuries can affect not only the injured person’s life but the lives of others around them.
Some people suffer injuries that leave them scarred and disfigured. This can have serious detrimental effects on their work and private lives and can lead to depression. Others suffer from internal head injuries which can lead to memory loss and other impairments meaning that although physically they appear fine, they are in fact suffering a great deal.
Head injuries can also affect your employment and earnings, adding financial worries to the stress and strain that you are already under. It is therefore essential that you have the right team behind you to secure the compensation needed to provide you with financial security and aid your recovery.
Your compensation award is there to recognise the impact of your injury and to cover:
● Medical treatments, therapies and rehabilitation
● Protection against loss of earnings both now and in the future
● Any out of pocket expenses
Speaking to a head injury solicitor may feel daunting, and you may not even be sure that you are eligible. Our dedicated personal injury team is here to help. We will advise you on the process and utilise our considerable expertise and technical knowledge to achieve the results you need.
Head injuries can affect your brain, skull or scalp and usually fall into one of two categories:
Also known as penetrating head injuries, occur when an object penetrates the skull and potentially comes into contact with the brain tissue.
This type of trauma is sustained as the result of a blow to the head. There may be no visible wound and the skull will often remain intact. However, a greater area of the brain can be affected, due to the force of the impact, heightening the risk of more long-term damage.
Head injuries can have a devastating impact on the victim, their family, and their community. Although accurate figures are hard to acquire, studies have attempted to collate the data for hospital admissions, with the following findings:

Traumatic head injuries tend to include some or potentially all the following effects:
A concussion is one of the most common effects of a traumatic head injury. Usually caused by a heavy blow, it interrupts the brain’s ability to function properly and can cause problems with cognitive abilities such as memory and concentration, as well as with speech, balance, and coordination. A concussion is usually temporary but can lead to other, more severe issues if not treated quickly and effectively.
Visual disturbances, hearing loss, and problems with balance can all result from a traumatic head injury. People often report pain or discomfort in the skin including tingling or itching, the inability to taste or problems affecting the sense of smell.
Cuts to the scalp, while painful, are usually minor and quick to heal. They may require stitches depending on the depth and angle of the lacerations and every care should be taken to check for further symptoms that may indicate a more serious problem.
Fits or seizures are often a side effect of a serious head injury and take place when the normal electrical function of the brain is interrupted. They can occur in the first seven days after an accident, known as Early Post-Traumatic seizures or in the subsequent weeks or months, known as Late Post-Traumatic Seizure. Symptoms can be mild, such as overwhelming fatigue and/or dizziness or they can be more severe including unresponsiveness, loss of speech, lack of understanding, and tremors.
There are four major types of fractures to the skull, with linear fractures being the most common and straightforward to heal. Depressed skull fractures result in part of the skull being indented due to the trauma, requiring corrective surgery, while diastatic skull fractures cause the bones of the skull to separate as the result of breaking two interconnected areas. The most serious skull fracture is the basilar fracture, which is a break at the base of the skull with the potential to affect the spinal cord.
Even injuries that appear relatively minor can have a lasting impact causing ongoing pain, headaches, vision problems, and balance issues. All can negatively impact your everyday life so we would urge you to seek professional legal advice from personal injury specialists in a bid to resolve your symptoms and get back to your pre-injury self.
Head injuries can also cause related problems in the back or shoulders, so whatever your symptoms get in touch with us today for more information about how we can help.
A traumatic head injury may cause damage to blood vessels in the brain. This damage could lead to a stroke. Studies have shown an association between head trauma and both haemorrhagic strokes and ischemic strokes. One possible explanation for this might be a change in the body’s ability to form blood clots as a result of the head injury.
