Our focus is on giving you the best possible chance of achieving the best possible outcome and quality of life.
You’re not just a case – you’re a person, and part of the team. We work alongside you, not just for you. You’ll be involved in every key decision, and supported every step of the way.
We keep our caseloads deliberately low – so we can give you our time. Our brain injury lawyers typically manage no more than 5 complex cases at a time, making sure your case receives the attention it deserves.
The same expert solicitor will handle your case from beginning to end, wherever possible. We don’t delegate important legal work to junior lawyers, as other non-specialist law firms might do.
We act fast to get you the treatment and support you need. We don’t wait for insurance delays. If treatment and support is needed, we act – and we can cover the cost upfront – to get you on the road to recovery sooner.

Unlocking solutions: how we work
We're the leading choice of injured people and medical experts
Your rehabilitation starts when you need it – not months later. Early intervention is key. That’s why we can arrange treatment at the optimum time, not just when the other side agrees to it.
We’re chosen by those who know best. Many of our clients come through recommendations from doctors, brain injury specialists, clinicians, rehabilitation providers, barristers, or charities who’ve seen our work first-hand.
We go beyond legal advice
We build proper relationships that strengthen your case. We listen to you! Time with you means we understand your needs, your story, and your life – which leads to stronger evidence and better outcomes.
We go beyond legal advice – because your life doesn’t stop at the claim. Whether it’s helping with paperwork, chasing insurers, applying for a bus pass or cancelling fines – we’re here to help reduce the everyday stresses too.
When you choose Coulthursts
When we first see individuals and their families, we often encounter people who are struggling with symptoms and changes and trying to make sense of what is happening. It may not be clear what the solutions or next steps should be. This is where we can help, not only in terms of the legal process but also as specialists in brain injuries advising what is needed and co-ordinating high quality, specialist care.
At this stage, the primary need is for advice on possible next steps, assessment, rehabilitation and support. The legal process is very important as the funding vehicle for future care and support, although at an early stage, medical needs are the priority. For this reason, when we take on a client, we provide initial funding for assessment and immediate needs.
If you or a loved one may be affected by a brain injury and are looking for advice and support, please contact us.
Some people switch solicitors to come to us
We often take over cases where people have started with a different law firm, usually one that is not a specialist. Sometimes it is quite late in the process when they come to us. It could be a family member, a clinician, or even the client themselves who thinks, “Hang on this doesn’t feel right.”
When we do take on those cases, it is often clear to us how things are likely to play out, and we are able to completely change the outcome for the family by taking a different, more specialist approach.
