At PotterRees, we understand the devastating effect that a head injury can have on all aspects of your life. Rehabilitation is vitally important, with the greatest progress often made in the first six months after injury. But it does not stop there. Improvements can still take place many months or even years after inury. We can help secure rehabilitation for you and if you do not fully recover compensation can help to achieve financial security for individuals and families.

- keep our advice to you as clear and as straightforward as possible.
- help to guide you through the practical problems that you are faced with immediately after your head injury and as you progress
The value of compensation for head injuries can reach millions of pounds. It is important that every area of your claim is properly investigated and valued. As well as your physical and mental impairments, we will investigate:-

If, as a result of a serious head injury, you are left unable to manage your own affairs it is likely that a Receiver would be appointed by the Court of Protection to manage your finances for you. At PotterRees, we specialise in Court of Protection matters.
At the conclusion of your claim we will help you get proper financial advice so you can protect your compensation award for the years to come.
