Traumatic brain or spinal injury has a permanent, life-changing effect, not only on the injured person but also on their family.

What is Brain and Spinal Injury?

As the brain and spine are closely connected, if a brain injury occurs it could have an impact on your spine – and in turn, a spinal injury may also occur. Brain and spinal injuries can result in devastating and life-changing injuries – this is why it’s so important to receive the best legal assistance.

Brain and Spinal Injury Claims - The Time Limits

As with all claims for personal injury compensation, there are time limits within which a claim must be lodged with the court.

For accident claims, court proceedings must be started within three years from the date of your accident although with brain and spinal injuries this can be more complex. In the event that court proceedings are not started within three years from the relevant date, the negligent party may be able to escape paying compensation on the basis that your claim is out of time.
