Specialist Brain Injury Lawyers

Our experienced team has a proven track record in securing compensation that helps rebuild the lives of those with brain injuries and their families, from specialist rehabilitation and therapy to adaptations for the home and long-term care planning. 

Compassionate, Family-Centred Approach

We understand this is not just about legal processes, it is about your future. Our ethos is built on a ‘family first’ approach, and we will work closely with you and the rest of the family, to provide a clear, supportive path forward for everyone.

We offer no win, no fee agreements for families, so you can access justice without additional financial pressure. 

Court of Protection & Financial Support

We help families manage complex decisions, including acting as Deputy where required, ensuring your needs are protected both now and in the future. 

Specialist Client Support Team

Our specialist client support team offer holistic and practical assistance on a range of topics for families. From reviewing initial needs assessments and coordinating with medical teams and social services, to providing benefits advice and assisting with applications.

Partnerships Team

Our partnerships team can help signpost you to additional assistance from our network of support services. In addition, we have former police officers and family liaison officers who act as consultants in our partnerships team, to help guide you through any police investigation that may take place as a result of the incident.

Media Advice

There are occasions where an incident may lead to media attention. Although media attention can be a great way to raise awareness, it can come at a difficult and quite stressful time. Our media adviser can help relieve any burden, such as preparing media statements and/or speaking to the media on your behalf.

Proven Track Record

We are an award-winning law firm with a strong reputation. We are well-known for securing early interim payments to relieve any financial pressure and put rehabilitation, treatment and care in place with immediate effect, giving you the best possible chance of recovery and future independence.

Our specialist team have represented hundreds of people and their families over the years. Here is just one example of the people we have helped.  

Case Study: Zara’s Road to Recovery and Justice

Zara* was a rising star with a promising career ahead. One morning, while cycling to work, her life changed in an instant. A head-on collision with a car left her with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and multiple orthopaedic injuries. The road to recovery looked steep and uncertain.

Contacting the Specialists – HCC Solicitors

The driver’s insurers disputed that the driver was at fault, claiming that Zara had been on the wrong side of the road. In order to settle the matter quickly, they made Zara an offer. That’s when HCC Solicitors were asked to get involved.

Our experts knew that the offer put forward by the driver’s insurers did not come close to reflecting the impact on Zara’s life and career. From the outset, we believed in Zara’s case. We knew her injuries were serious, and immediately secured access to private rehabilitation. This ensured Zara received the best possible care.

Rehabilitation and Recovery

Zara’s recovery was nothing short of miraculous. The immediate private rehabilitation, together with Zara’s sheer determination, meant that she eventually returned to work and resumed nearly all her usual duties.

Continuing the Legal Battle

Despite Zara’s progress, the legal battle continued. We advised Zara to stand firm and gathered compelling expert evidence, including a detailed reconstruction report that strongly supported her version of events.

A Promising Future

Our unwavering and strategic approach worked. Zara’s claim was successfully settled for a significantly higher amount that reflected not only her injuries, but also her resilience and future potential.

Today, Zara is back doing what she loves and is extremely pleased she chose HCC Solicitors to stand in her corner.

5* Review - Review Solicitors

They were friendly, very approachable, professional, demonstrated great empathy and supported both my wife and I through every step of the process. Especially when some of the information that had to be relayed by them to us was very difficult to hear.
