#30 Claiming Compensation After Brain Injury - with Richard Biggs & Adam Shelverton, Irwin & Mitchell
Getting legal advice is not usually your first priority after a traumatic brain injury but, as Elizabeth and Julia discover, making that call could help hugely with a person's recovery - and an initial call costs nothing.
In this episode, Elizabeth and Julia look at the importance of getting specialist legal advice and the difference it can make to people's lives.
Joining them to dispel some of the myths and give the facts are Richard Biggs and Adam Shelverton from Irwin Mitchell Solicitors in Manchester.
Some of the questions discussed include: what costs are included in a compensation claim? How does 'no win no fee' work? How long do you have to make a claim and what length of time will it take to get a settlement?
This episode sees them cut through some of the legal jargon and bring a human face to a process which can be overwhelming.
It also explains why getting a financial settlement isn’t just about the money.
About Richard and Adam

Adam is a physiotherapist by background and a team manager for Irwin Mitchell’s Support and Rehabilitation services in Manchester.
