Book a FREE initial chat with our brain injury solicitors on the Isle of Wight
Our Isle of Wight team based in Newport offer a free initial meeting to start your brain or head injury compensation claim. Your free appointment with one of our head injury solicitors will provide you with an opportunity to discuss exactly what led to your injury and how it has impacted your life.
From here, we can then advise on whether you will likely have grounds to claim compensation. At this point, we will also explain the claims process in more detail and give you the next steps.
How long do I have to make a brain injury claim?
The standard time limit to start a personal injury claim is 3 years from the date you were injured or were first aware that you were injured.
If you are claiming on behalf of someone who no longer has the mental capacity, there is no time limit to making a claim. Should they regain capacity in the future, the 3-year time limit is counted from this date.
If a brain or head injury is sustained by someone under 18, the 3-year time limit takes effect from their 18th birthday and only if they have the mental capacity to make a compensation claim themselves.
