Action for Brain Injury Week 2022: See the Hidden Me

Today marks the beginning of Action for Brain Injury Week; an annual campaign by the charity Headway – the brain injury association.

ABI Week is designed to raise awareness of the devastating effects of brain injury and, each year, Headway highlight a different theme. In 2020, the focus was on memory loss and last year was deemed “A life in lockdown” highlighting social isolation after a brain injury, worsened due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

This year, the ABI Week theme is “See the hidden me” focussing on what can be a hidden disability for many survivors of brain injury. The symptoms of brain injury can often be misunderstood and Headway aim to raise awareness of the challenges and frustrations survivors can face.

“See the hidden me” aims to empower survivors to talk about when their hidden disability has made life more challenging and to make the general public aware to understand what someone with a brain injury is experiencing.

Many brain injury survivors look as they did before their accident and so can face day-to-day struggles when the effects of the brain injury are misunderstood as rudeness or being drunken behaviour, for example.

Take a look at Headway and Action for Brain Injury Week for further information.

Here at Potter Rees Dolan, our expert serious injury solicitors are committed to helping secure financial compensation and long term care for our brain injured clients. In support of this week's Headway's See the Hidden Me campaign and in order to help raise awareness of brain injury, we will be sharing various articles about brain injury and shining a light on some of the brain injury cases that we have settled over the last couple of years.

If you would like to know more how our expert team of brain injury solicitors can help you or a loved one following a brain injury that was caused through accident or clinical negligence, simply call us on 0800 027 2557 or fill out our contact form here.

  • Thank you. Excellent help and I got an outcome I didn't expect, so a big thank you to Peter Renshaw.

    Lisa Hathaway

  • TRUSTWORTHY FIRM I found Potter Rees Dolan through google search, and while I didn’t have much hope, it all turned out to believe there are still good people who help others. Peter Renshaw assisted me with my appeal. If he wasn’t there I probably never came this far and just lived my difficult life. However with all his professionalism and caring manner he encouraged me to appeal the decision, patiently explained the procedure and advised me all through the way. The appeal was allowed by the judge and this could not happened if Peter Renshaw did not support me with my case. I highly recommend PRD and specifically Peter Renshaw and his team.

  • Firstly, I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to you and your team for the support you have given me over the past years to achieve this unexpected outcome. It has been such an emotionally draining process that, were it not for that support, I may have abandoned it... Once again, many thanks to all at Potter Rees Dolan. I couldn't have been in safer hands.

    GM, Manchester

  • I am completely blown away after the success your input has done for me. Now, instead of life not being worth living, I can take time to make a life with a difference. I will forever be grateful to you! I am very grateful to your firm and especially Mr. Renshaw for his simple instructions, patience and understanding. Having him as an advocate was everything and more than I could have ask for. Many thanks for what you do.

    Wendy Williams, Shropshire

  • One aspect which I value highly is that a promise to call will always be honoured. This may seem a small point but it is absolutely critical to peace of mind for the client. Communications, written and verbal, are always timeous, appropriate and well explained. As I develop below, each one of the team is invariably compassionate, understanding and empathic.This is of great importance to clinical negligence clients, who may well be facing life changing events, and not for the better. The Practice has a substantial and impressive array of medico legal contacts whose expertise they can call upon.  We have been impressed with their thorough work and pleased with their achievements so far in dealing with our claim.
