Brain Injury Group was established in 2011 to provide a gateway to information, services and advice for people affected by brain injury, their families and carers.
Our dedicated brain injury lawyers and other specialist support services have helped numerous individuals and families to access legal, welfare and statutory funding help and many other services. Initial no-obligation advice is provided free of charge by our members.
Our Services A-Z provides a comprehensive range of services and goods, both for the individual and for lawyers working within the field of brain injury, including case managers, care in the home, residential rehabilitation facilities, business to business services and brain injury expert report providers.
All our law firm members go through a robust application process and must be able to demonstrate particular expertise and experience in brain injury litigation. They should also be able to show that they are involved in the promotion of brain injury awareness and the development of brain injury support services in their local community. Many of them are active members of regional support groups and charities.
