Nicola Cooper suffers a brain injury from a seemingly minor car accident

Traumatic brain injury case study

Shoosmiths helped recover substantial pay-out in a brain injury claim for Nicola Cooper who suffered serious brain injury following a minor car accident.

Nicola suffered a brain injury after a seemingly minor car accident eight years ago. There were no obvious immediate signs to show that she had suffered severe brain damage and at first her only symptoms were those of a whiplash-type injury. Her symptoms progressively became apparent and she rebuilt her life with the help of her family, friends and Shoosmiths.

The ease with which brain injuries can occur and their impact not just on the individual, but the entire family is often underestimated. Nicola's story shows how important it is to get properly checked out after suffering an accident, no matter how minor you may perceive it to be.

The serious injury team at Shoosmiths has represented many clients who have suffered a brain injury and helped them to get compensation and access early treatment and rehabilitation so they can recover as quickly as possible.
