Damian Horan

I’m a vastly experienced neuro trauma solicitor who has successfully concluded some of the most complex and high value brain and spinal cord injury claims in the UK in recent years.

Widely regarded as one of the most experienced catastrophic injury solicitors in the UK, I have an incredibly successful track record in achieving fantastic outcomes for the clients I represent. All my cases are brought in the High Court in London and almost all of the settlements I achieve result in seven and eight figure compensation payments for my clients.

My clients come from across the UK and internationally, and I have significant experience of acting in cases where the injury was sustained abroad, or where liability is denied. I have particular experience and expertise of acting in cases where there is both a severe spinal cord and brain injury trauma. I have acted for many years as a professional deputy and understand the interface between the litigation claim process and the court of protection for our clients who lack capacity to conduct their own litigation or manage their financial affairs.

In 2017 I was shortlisted by the Law Society for UK solicitor of the year in recognition of the work I do in supporting people who have sustained catastrophic injuries and the charities who also support them. I’m also an ambassador for CBIT, the national charity which supports children with acquired brain injury and I regularly participate in fundraising events.

I visit clients at major trauma centres, hospitals or rehabilitation centres throughout the country. I also see clients at their homes or, if they prefer at an appropriate venue close to their home.

Support for a child living with a serious brain injury

After a road traffic collision left our client with a life-changing brain injury, their family faced an uncertain future. Compensation helped secure specialist care, rehabilitation and adapted accommodation, giving them the support they need now and in the years ahead.

Helping a young girl achieve the best possible quality of life

Our client was left with a catastrophic brain injury and complex care needs. The settlement means she can access the therapies, support and specialist equipment she needs, helping her live as independently and comfortably as possible.

A more secure future after childhood brain injury

Following a serious brain injury, our client needed ongoing care and support. Compensation provided financial security for the future and funded the specialist rehabilitation, equipment and home adaptations needed to meet their changing needs.

Rebuilding life after a traumatic brain injury

A road traffic accident changed our client’s life in an instant. The compensation secured access to rehabilitation and long-term support, helping them regain independence and focus on what matters most to them and their family.

I have a dedicated team of lawyers who work alongside me, all of whom have vast experience of succeeding in complex and high-value brain injury and spinal cord injury claims.
