Suffering a brain injury can have an overwhelming impact on both
the victim and their family - in some cases often transforming life
completely.
When a brain injury is received as a result of an accident or
negligence, it is vitally important to choose a solicitor who
specialises in brain injury work, and who understands the
complexities of the injury and how it will impact on the victim's
life. Shropshire law firm Lanyon Bowdler has once again met the
stringent criteria to achieve reaccreditation to Headway - the
Brain Injury Association Personal Injury Solicitors List.
Headway UK provides crucial services to brain injury survivors
and their families. To be included in their Personal Injury
Solicitors List, Headway UK requires that a law firm must have the
relevant experience in the field of brain injury to ensure that
anyone using a solicitor from the list has confidence in the
quality and expertise of their chosen firm, and is assured of
commitment to addressing particular needs and circumstances.
Partner Neil Lorimer is head of Lanyon Bowdler's personal injury
department. Over the past 12 months he and his team have recovered
damages in excess of £8m. being made up of awards ranging
from several thousand pounds through to those in excess of
£1million.
Speaking about Lanyon Bowdler's reaccreditation Neil comments
"Acquired brain injury is not like a serious leg fracture which can
be clearly observed. It is important to obtain the necessary
evidence from documents, witness evidence and through the right
choice of experts. It's a bit like a jigsaw where the pieces are
obtained to show the complete picture to either the defendant to
obtain a suitable out of court settlement to meet the injured
person's needs or to a Judge in those rare cases which go to a
court hearing.
"Brain injuries are complex and give rise to a variety of
considerations when compared to other forms of injury. It's very
important that a person who has suffered an acquired brain injury,
or their relatives, carefully choose a solicitor with the right
experience and knowledge. The Headway List of approved solicitors
helps with this choice."
