" Eddie Jones was not only an excellent solicitor who handled Theo's case flawlessly, he also became a trusted advisor whom we relied on for guidance and support throughout the case. Eddie could explain medical and legal terminology in layman's terms, and his calm and steady influence helped us immensely through what could have been a daunting process. The whole team at JMW was very professional while always being friendly and helpful, and that really made it easier for us. The settlement has transformed our son's life for the better, he now has everything he needs and is blossoming into a little boy who enjoys life and is reaching his potential. "

Minor to severe brain injuries
The brain is incredibly sensitive to injury and, in the most severe cases, trauma to the brain can lead to loss of function such as mobility or the ability to speak. It can also result in a drastic change in personality. However any type of injury to the brain can have a significant impact so it is vital that the victim, or their family, seeks specialist legal advice if it has been caused by medical negligence.
We deal with the entire spectrum of brain injuries and will always work towards the fastest resolution and the maximum compensation possible.
We have experience of securing compensation for:
- Birth injuries
- Mismanaged infections or illnesses
- Strokes
- Memory problems
- Tissue damage
- Serious brain injury requiring long-term medical care
- Loss of speech/movement
Cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy caused by medical negligence is an issue the solicitors at JMW specialise in. Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term referring to motor conditions which can be caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain or the mismanagement of illness in the newborn baby.
Most cases of cerebral palsy can be diagnosed by the time a child is 18 months old – if your child has cerebral palsy which was caused by mistakes made during their birth, or by poor medical care after delivery, call us now.
Children with cerebral palsy will often require specialist care for the rest of their lives so if it was caused by medical errors it is vital that their parents pursue a claim for compensation to fund this.
