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:
Widely regarded as the leading serious injury solicitors across North Wales and Cheshire, we regularly support clients who have sustained head injuries through incidents.

Solicitor - Head of Personal Injury
VIEW PROFILE
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
USUAL LOCATIONS: Shotton Office, Wrexham Office, Colwyn Bay Office, Wallasey Office
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.

I joined PSR Solicitors in May 2022 as part of their first cohort of Trainee Solicitors. After being admitted as a Solicitor in August 2023, I joined the firm's Litigation Department.
I completed my Law degree at The University of Liverpool in 2018, then went on to complete the Legal Practice Course at The College of Law, Chester.
Outside of work I enjoy making the most of living in North Wales and often spend my weekends on the Llyn Peninsula. I also enjoy going to the gym, skiing holidays and travelling to warmer destinations.
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.
