Our partnership with Future Toolbox - Brain or Shine

Why choose Slater and Gordon as your legal representative?

Brain or Shine is designed to help individuals, and their families, friends, and work colleagues, understand how to live with the life changing effects of traumatic injuries and hidden disabilities.

They work to offer guidance and support to individuals and their families, by providing you tools, webinars, membership programmes and a strong online community.

Through Future Toolbox, Brain or Shine shares articles that offer tips and guidance to cope with the symptoms and aftereffects of a brain injury.

As head and brain injury solicitors with extensive experience of supporting survivors and whole families through such cases, we know how difficult it can be and understand the importance of tailored support for both the survivor and their loved ones. We understand how vital the work of Future Toolbox - Brain or Shine is, and strive to ensure that we provide the high level of service our clients would expect from one of their supporters.

Highly experienced

Our highly specialist personal injury and medical negligence teams have been representing those affected by brain injury for decades, and have been involved in some of the most high-profile and ground-breaking cases.

We understand exactly what difficulties you face, and we will be with you throughout your case, every step of the way.

Strong reputation

Our team of head and brain injury solicitors are leaders in their field; many hold APIL (Association of Personal Injury Lawyers) accreditations and have been continuously ranked in Chambers and Partners and the Legal 500.

Head and brain injury claims are extremely complex and a specialist in this area of work must always be appointed to handle such cases. At Slater and Gordon, we understand the intricacies of handling cases that deal with such complex injuries and our specialist solicitors work tirelessly to ensure our clients receive the very best support possible.

Medical team of nurses and midwives

Our team, which spans across England, Scotland and Wales, also includes nurses and midwives who are able to offer bespoke medical advice and guidance in addition to the legal expertise provided by our specialist lawyers.

Treatment and rehabilitation support

We work with some of the best case managers and treatment providers in the UK - not only to ensure that the treatment you receive is the best available, but also to seek early interim payments. This is a key part of our strategy to ensure there is funding to begin as soon as possible, giving you the best chance to maximise recovery and future independence.

No financial risk

The vast majority of personal injury and medical negligence cases are funded by a No Win No Fee agreement. This means that if you lose your case, there will be no cost to you - so no financial risk.

Slater and Gordon is also able to offer Legal Aid funding on medical negligence cases where a child has suffered from a neurological injury at birth or within the early neonatal period, such as cerebral palsy. It is important to note that not all law firms are able to offer legal aid funding, but Slater and Gordon is an exception.

Once we have taken details of your case from you, we will be able to advise you on which risk free funding option is best for you.

Providing a seamless end to end service for all your legal needs

Additionally, as we are one of the largest law firms in the UK, we also have dedicated experts in a wide range of specialist legal services, who can offer bespoke expertise when it is needed, such as Court of Protection and family law, in addition to an independent financial planning company, who can help ensure any compensation received lasts your lifetime and gives you financial protection. Having these bespoke services enables us to provide our clients with an end-to-end seamless service for their legal and financial needs.
