Effects of a traumatic brain injury…
An traumatic brain injury is potentially one the most devastating disabilities.
There a wide range of potential effects and these vary significantly because of the complexity of the brain.
The range and severity of problems arising from a brain injury will vary significantly from person to person because every person’s brain injury varies in the extent and location of the damage. Some of the affects of a brain injury are not immediately obvious and only become apparent as time progresses.
I just want to get across some of the most common affects that brain injury victims may suffer from following an accident or injury as these affects can be devastating but surprisingly well hidden.
3 years to bring a claim? What the Telly ad’s dont tell you..
Yes, generally you do have 3 years (called the limitation period) from the date of the accident or injury in which to bring a claim (meaning that you must either settle your claim or issue proceedings in the Courts within 3 years) but there are exceptions to the 3 year rule.
Any Personal Injury Lawyer that does not know the rules relating to limitation is heading for big trouble so make sure you speak to a good and experienced Personal Injury Lawyer. Keep in mind, the main source of negligence actions against Personal Injury Lawyers relates to the Limitation Period.
This article provides you with only a brief overview of the law relating to Limitation and is by no means exhaustive. So, as I have said above, for the very best advice relating to your claim speak to a good Personal Injury Lawyer.

Your No1 question when picking an Injury Lawyer?
As a specialist personal injury lawyer, at The Injury Lawyers, I always seem to be asked the same set of questions by every new client in that first telephone call.
I have been specialising in personal injury claims for many years now and one of the most asked and first questions is usually about my fees –
I am usually asked about my fees in one of the following way’s:-
“Do I Have To Pay”
“How Much Do I Pay”
“Do I Have To Pay Anything”
“Is it a No Win No Fee”
“Do I get 100% Compensation”.
Most people don’t know they actually never pay the costs of a claim so they hesitate in contacting Injury Lawyers.
Look at it this way, I have been practising as an expert injury lawyer for many years now, and NO – I have never charged a client, NEVER.
