Traumatic brain injury claims

Brain injuries — even "mild" concussions — can have profound long-term effects. Cognitive issues, mood changes, and reduced earning capacity all need to be properly compensated.

Why these claims get under-paid — and how we fight back

TBI claims are notoriously underdiagnosed — symptoms can take weeks to appear and standard imaging often misses them. Insurers exploit this. We work with neuropsychologists and TBI specialists to document cognitive deficits, vocational impact, and long-term care needs.

How these injuries happen

Direct head impact in collisions, whiplash-related brain injury, airbag deployment, and motorcycle/cyclist/pedestrian incidents. Loss of consciousness is not required for a TBI claim.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to make a claim?
Time limits vary by state. Most CTP schemes require notification within a few months of the accident, with longer periods for formal lodgement. Common-law claims have separate limitation periods (usually three years).
What if I was partly at fault?
In most Australian states, you can still claim even if you contributed to the accident. Your compensation may be reduced by your share of fault, but it's not eliminated.
Do I need to go to court?
The vast majority of motor vehicle accident claims settle without ever going to court. Where the insurer won't make a fair offer, we're prepared to litigate.
How much does it cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on a no-win, no-fee basis. If we don't recover compensation, you don't pay our legal fees.
