Power of Attorney and Court of Protection issues
Some of the most common legal questions that can affect people with neurological conditions and their families are around Power of Attorney and Court of Protection.
It can be distressing when a loved one is so unwell they are not able to manage their own financial affairs or make decisions for themselves.
The Brain Charity’s legal partners can guide you through this process, explaining how the system works and what needs to be done at each stage.
Medical negligence
When we are ill or injured, it is the medical profession that we turn to for help. Most of us have the highest levels of trust in their judgement and expertise.
However, mistakes can, and sometimes do, happen. If you have suffered medical negligence due to the actions of someone in the medical profession, our panel may be able to help.
Serious injury
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a road traffic accident, criminal assault or accident at work, it is vital you seek out specialist legal support.
