Severe injuries

Brain and head injuries

Every year more than 150,000 people in the UK suffer brain damage as a result of a head injury. The effects of brain damage can be both physical and mental. Sometimes the changes are minor but on other occasions, they are far more significant and have a great impact on the life of the individual, his/her family and friends.
The law associated with brain injury litigation is highly specialised and at R&H Law we have the necessary experience to deal with any such claim effectively, efficiently and sympathetically in an effort to ensure that you secure the right level of compensation as quickly as possible.

Spinal injuries

There are 40,000 paralysed people living in the UK and thousands more who suffer from a range of spinal injuries caused by accidents at work or serious road traffic accidents.

Spinal cord injuries are devastating and life changing for the individual and his/her family and friends. The types of injury vary from paralysis of the legs (paraplegia) to paralysis of the arms and legs (tetraplegia) usually following a serious accident. Victims generally become wheelchair bound.
Through claiming compensation, you can provide for the assistance and financial security required to live with a spinal injury for the rest of your life. This includes providing for future needs and rehabilitation.
Interim payments of compensation can be obtained to alleviate the financial pressures and cover immediate expenses and advice on long-term financial planning can be given once compensation has been secured.
We are also happy to assist with the rehabilitation process.

Fatal Accidents

Whilst nothing can compensate family and relatives for the loss of a loved one, it is important that adequate compensation is awarded to help those left behind gain financial security, particularly where the deceased was the main or sole breadwinner for the family left behind.

At R&H Law we can offer advice and assistance to relatives through the complex legal process and handle such claims with compassion and understanding at such a distressing time.

At R&H Law, we can advise you on the merits of any such claim so please contact us for a free initial consultation.
