Simpson Millar is a national law firm with extensive experience supporting adults, children and families affected by traumatic and acquired brain injuries.

The firm understands that a brain injury can affect every aspect of a person’s life, including their independence, rehabilitation, emotional wellbeing, education, relationships, finances and future plans. The impact is often felt across the whole family, with parents, partners and children also facing significant emotional, practical and financial challenges.

Simpson Millar’s role is not only to provide expert legal advice, but also to help clients and families feel supported, reassured and cared for throughout their recovery and future planning. The firm provides clear, practical guidance tailored to each individual’s circumstances, recognising that no two brain injuries, or recovery journeys, are the same.

The team supports clients who have sustained brain injuries as a result of road traffic collisions, workplace accidents, military incidents, criminal assaults, public liability incidents and medical negligence, including delayed diagnosis, GP and hospital negligence, neurological negligence, birth injuries, encephalitis, and failures in treatment or ongoing care.

Alongside serious injury and medical negligence litigation, Simpson Millar also supports clients and families with the wider issues that can arise following a life-changing injury, including:

• Accessing rehabilitation, therapy, care packages, accommodation and long-term support

• Court of Protection Property and Affairs matters, including deputyships, personal injury trusts and the long-term management of compensation awards

• Court of Protection Health and Welfare matters involving care, treatment, capacity and best interests decisions

• Education law support for children and young people, including SEN support, EHCP appeals, school exclusions and children out of school matters

• Support for families where a serious injury has affected parenting responsibilities, safeguarding concerns or wider family arrangements

• Inquests and claims involving failures by public bodies or organisations

• Criminal Injuries Compensation claims for individuals affected by violent assaults or abuse

The firm regularly works alongside case managers, neuropsychologists, therapists, rehabilitation providers, clinicians, deputies, education professionals, charities, local authorities and support organisations to help ensure clients receive coordinated support tailored to their rehabilitation needs and long-term wellbeing.

Their focus is always on helping clients access the rehabilitation, care, financial security and practical support needed to maximise independence, quality of life and future opportunities for both themselves and their families.
