Brain Injury Compensation - Questions To Ask Part 1

1. Are Freeclaim serious injury solicitors specialist in head injury and brain injury compensation claims?

YES. Freeclaim Solicitors have over 25 years experience helping clients with serious and complex brain injury compensation claims, evidenced by our membership of Headway (a directory of solicitors experienced in handling head and brain injury compensation claims) and our recommendation as a leading law firm in the Legal 500.

We have a dedicated head and brain injury claim department, led by Director Alastair Fernie, with proven legal and rehabilitation experience, successfully settling many multimillion pound cases on behalf of our clients and their families.

2. Who will be handling my brain injury claim and do they personally have the necessary experience?

At Freeclaim Solicitors, we always recommend that you not only research the firm, but speak directly to the head injury solicitor who will be handling your case from start to finish. We provide a free, no obligation consultation at home for your convenience where you will be able to discuss your head or brain injury compensation claim face to face with the senior brain injury solicitor who will handle your case. That way, you can ensure you are comfortable with not just the credentials of our firm as serious injury solicitors, but that you are comfortable with the experience of your solicitor.

3. Can a relative contact you to discuss a head injury compensation claim?

If a member of your family has suffered a serious head or brain injury, you can contact our brain injury claim solicitors at any time to discuss whether they have a compensation claim and find out in more detail about our legal experience, rehabilitation support and additional services.

4. What will it cost to make a brain injury compensation claim?

Nothing. All enquires and consultations are absolutely free with no obligation. Thereafter, all head injury compensation claims are handled on a no win no fee basis with our additional guaranteed.

• It won't cost you a penny if you win your head injury claim as we can recover our fees from the other side.
• It won't cost you a penny if you lose your head injury claim as an insurance policy (which we purchase on your behalf) will cover any costs.
• You keep 100% compensation guaranteed.

5. Can Freeclaim Solicitors help with early financial assistance?

Our head injury lawyers have helped many clients cover short term care needs by obtaining interim payments, which means that some early funds can be released whilst we continue with the compensation claim. 

In the early stages of a brain injury compensation claim, we will establish early contact with the Defendant's insurers and try and obtain interim payments to help with early financial assistance, funding immediate needs such as medical treatment, housing adaptations and vehicle adaptations, which can be crucial in some cases to get a comprehensive rehabilitation programme underway as soon as possible.

6. My insurance company is saying that I must use a solicitor of their choice - is this true?

This is not correct. Some insurance companies advise their clients that they have to use one of their "panel" solicitors who may not be experienced in complex head injury claims.

You have the right to instruct a solicitor of your choice, which is extremely important in head or brain injury compensation claims which are serious and complex. Freeclaim Solicitors are in the directory or approved firms by Headway the brain injury charity. 

If your head injury claim is ongoing but you are not happy with the solicitor appointed by your insurance company or you feel that your solicitor does not have the legal experience to deal with complex head injury claims, you can speak to one of our head injury claims solicitors confidentially about transferring your claim. All enquiries are in the strictest of confidence and you will not be charged a penny whether you decide to use Freeclaim Solicitors or not. Call today on 0800 24 34 09 for confidential advice.
