Being the carer of someone with a brain or head injury can be tough.

Besides the support of a professional team, you may also want to speak to other people directly affected by a brain injury in the family.

Emotional support from brain injury charities

  • We work closely with Brain Injury is BIG (B.I.G.), a registered charity for the family members of people with severe brain injuries. They have a website, an online discussion forum and a telephone helpline so that connecting with someone who knows exactly what you’re going through is never too far away.
  • If you have a child who is affected by brain injury, leading children’s charity The Children’s Trust also has an online support forum that you can access through their website.

Choosing the right legal adviser

Find out more

A brain injury can change a person’s life significantly – and that of their family. Many injuries are unfortunately the responsibility of a third party, in which case there may be the potential to make a claim for compensation. A successful claim could go a long way towards supporting a rehabilitation programme, or providing long term care, or simply easing the financial burden caused by changed circumstances.

If you think you have a claim, speak to several lawyers and ask lots of questions before you instruct anyone; you need to find someone you can relate to. When you speak to any one of our network members, you can be confident that they have a track record of handling brain injury cases and appreciate all the complexities.
