Suffering a subarachnoid haemorrhage is a life-altering experience. This type of brain injury, which involves bleeding around the brain, often occurs suddenly and without warning, leaving families reeling in the aftermath.

Subarachnoid haemorrhages are often the result of sudden trauma to the head, usually following an accident caused by someone else’s negligence. Common causes include:
If your injury occurred in a situation that should have been prevented, you may be able to claim compensation. This helps cover your recovery costs, and it can also hold those responsible to account and help prevent future harm to others.
Compensation can provide essential support if you’ve suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage due to someone else’s negligence. It can help cover:
Every case is different, so we work with medical and financial experts to ensure your claim reflects your personal circumstances. We can also help access interim payments where needed, giving you financial stability while your claim progresses.
Sadly, some people who suffer a subarachnoid haemorrhage are left with lasting cognitive or communication difficulties, making it difficult or impossible for them to manage legal matters themselves. In these circumstances, a loved one may be able to act on their behalf as a litigation friend. We can guide you through this process and ensure the injured person’s best interests are fully protected throughout the claim.
Establishing a link between the haemorrhage and third-party negligence involves gathering robust medical and factual evidence. Our team works with independent medical experts to confirm the nature, cause, and severity of the subarachnoid haemorrhage. At the same time, we consult accident investigators, safety specialists, and witness accounts to understand the circumstances that led to the injury, whether it was a fall at work, a car crash, or a violent incident. By combining this evidence, we can build a clear picture of how negligence contributed to your injury and present a strong case for compensation.
Yes. If your loved one is no longer able to make decisions about legal or financial matters due to brain damage caused by a subarachnoid haemorrhage, you can apply to act as their litigation friend. This legal role allows you to represent their best interests throughout the claims process. Our solicitors will guide you through every step, from assessing eligibility to managing the claim, ensuring your family member receives the care and support they need, both now and in the future.
It’s common for the full extent of a brain injury to emerge gradually. Cognitive, emotional, and physical symptoms may take months or even years to stabilise or become apparent. If you only realised the impact of the haemorrhage later, or if your condition worsened over time, you may still be entitled to claim, especially if the original injury resulted from a preventable accident. We work with medical professionals to fully evaluate how the subarachnoid haemorrhage has affected your life, ensuring your claim reflects both your current condition and any future needs.
Yes, medical documentation is a key component of any serious injury claim. CT scans, MRI imaging, hospital discharge summaries, and neurological assessments help confirm the diagnosis and provide evidence of the injury’s severity and cause. We’ll handle the process of gathering all relevant medical records, and where necessary, commission independent expert reports to strengthen your claim and clarify the link between the incident and your subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Yes, interim payments are often available in subarachnoid haemorrhage claims, particularly where liability has been admitted early. These payments can provide vital financial relief during your recovery, covering lost income, urgent care needs, or rehabilitation costs before the case is fully resolved. We always explore the option of securing interim funds to ease the pressure on you and your family while we continue to build your full compensation claim.
