Skull fractures, serious head injuries and brain trauma – Doug Landau’s experience working for premier English law firm
In 1983 I had the good fortune to work for the Thompson solicitor firm in their London headquarters. This firm of over 120 solicitors in a dozen locations throughout the United Kingdom used the most advanced advocacy techniques to help clients with injury, accident and disease claims. Because the science is the same on “both sides of the pond,” I was able to assist with injury and workplace disease claims after my work with multi-national firms such as Thompsons and other ATLA/AAJ international members. The firm handles catastrophic head trauma cases throughout the British Isles. The Thompson’s informative website relates:
According to the Brain Injury Resource Foundation, approximately 125,000 people suffer some sort of brain injury which requires hospital admission in the UK each year. Brain Injuries or Head Injuries can be caused in many different ways, such as from an accident at work, a road accident, an accident in a public place or an assault / attack. Effects of brain injuries and head injuries vary – there could be cognitive difficulties, memory loss and / or poor concentration through to permanent brain damage and / or physical disability.
You might be thinking of making a compensation claim for a brain injury or head injury that you, or a relative is coping with and that you feel was caused as a result of an accident. The change to lifestyle, the cost, the financial strain can be overwhelming, getting involved in a legal battle is often a daunting and unwelcome additional strain. We help individuals make the right decisions and the legal battle is to secure compensation that helps you deal with the changes to lifestyle and the financial impacts.
As specialist personal injury solicitors dealing with a claims for compensation in cases where a person has suffered a brain injury or head injury we will need to work closely with the family of the injured person and carry out home or hospital visits. We make every effort to explain the issues to you in plain English and to put you at your ease throughout.
