Heptonstalls LLP Joins New Brain Injury Group

Heptonstalls LLP Solicitors has been selected to join the new Brain Injury Group – a national network of expert brain injury lawyers working alongside a wide range of specialist support services. Together they provide brain injured individuals and their families with complete support – not just compensation – throughout their claim and beyond.

The Brain Injury Group comprises over 50 of the UK’s most experienced lawyers across the country who specialise in brain injury cases. The Brain Injury Group has been established to ensure that brain injury cases are given the precise, specialist legal attention that they deserve. Increasingly, brain injuries are dealt with as ‘just another’ personal injury claim and the specific and varied needs of brain injured clients and their families are not always met.

John Burman, Managing Partner at Heptonstalls LLP commented,

“We are extremely proud to become members of the Brain Injury Group. It is important to provide specialist advice and long term support to clients who have suffered brain injuries and to be a member of a national resource such as the Brain Injury Group will ensure that we give the best possible service in this area”.

Compensation alone is not enough…

The Brain Injury Group understands that injured individuals and their families face many months of anxiety and uncertainty. Compensation alone isn’t enough. After the initial shock has subsided, the reality of a brain injury hits home hard. Day-to-day issues need to be dealt with while also caring for the injured individual. The Brain Injury Group helps affected families come to terms with their change in circumstances and can help to ease their financial and emotional burdens.

Who can use the Brain Injury Group?

People who have sustained a brain injury as the result of an accident or someone else’s negligence are eligible to receive help from the Brain Injury Group. This could be newly injured people or families seeking access to a local specialist law firm; people who have a lawyer but feel they may not be receiving the specialist expert care and attention they need or those whose cases have already been settled but who feel they may have been undercompensated.

Employment Law Update May 2011

EMPLOYEE OR WORKER We provide an overview of the main criteria used by the courts to decide an individual’s employment status.

KICKED INTO TOUCH We look at a case in which the court said that the redundancy selection criteria for filling new roles following a reorganisation are different to those used for selecting employees for redundancy from within an existing group of staff.

WARNING LIGHTS We look at a case in which the court considered the circumstances in which a tribunal can “look behind” a final warning to decide whether a dismissal is fair or unfair.

IN BRIEF The government has launched a “Red Tape Challenge” website asking members of the public for their views on the current regulatory system.
