Brain injury
specialists to get you
the right treatment
and rehabilitation"
Rose Donoghue, Partner
Brain injuries are poorly understood and whether you seek advice from the medical and/or legal profession, you need to make sure you go to experts who understand it and will provide you with the guidance, advice and support to help you through a difficult process.
We have a strong team of experienced lawyers with many years' experience working with people who've suffered brain injury. We work closely with medical experts and rehabilitation providers to make sure support is provided as quickly as possible to promote recovery and return your life to some form of normality.
We understand that we cannot look at the brain injured person in isolation, and it's important we understand family dynamics and, in order to achieve this, it's crucial we work closely with the family.
Types of brain injury
Because of the complexity of brain injury you may be confused by the terminology used by the medical profession to explain the type of injury suffered. Here are some examples of brain injury:
- traumatic brain Injury
- acquired brain Injury
- closed head injury
- open head Injury
Because of our understanding and experience, we're able to explain what brain injury means and how it will affect you and your family.
