Lime Solicitors joins Child Brain Injury Trust’s legal panel

We are pleased to announce that we’ve been appointed to the Child Brain Injury Trust’s (CBIT) legal panel – enhancing its commitment to supporting families affected by childhood-acquired brain injuries across the UK.

The Child Brain Injury Trust, established in 1991, provides essential emotional, practical and legal support to families who are navigating the complex challenges following a child’s brain injury. The charity helps families with guidance on education rights, medical care, welfare benefits and financial security, ensuring they have the support needed to make informed decisions during such a difficult time.

As part of the partnership, our serious injury team will offer expert legal advice to families affected by childhood brain injury, ensuring they have access to high-quality, tailored legal support. The firm will work closely with the charity’s childhood-acquired brain injuries coordinators, who provide emotional and practical assistance from the point of injury and through the recovery process.

Emma Harpur, legal support partnership manager at the Child Brain Injury Trust, said: “Every family affected by childhood-acquired brain injury deserves to feel informed, supported and empowered. Our new legal support service brings together expert legal partners and our dedicated coordinators to provide fully integrated support – always in the family’s best interests.”

We will primarily be supporting families in Leeds, providing a crucial point of contact for families in the Yorkshire and Humber region.

Vicky Blodwell said: “We are honoured to join the Child Brain Injury Trust’s legal panel and support the incredible work they do for families dealing with the aftermath of childhood brain injuries. The effects of such an injury are life-altering, and it is essential families have access to the right legal guidance to secure the best possible outcomes.

“We are committed to making a difference by providing compassionate, expert legal support, and we look forward to collaborating with CBIT to help families rebuild their lives.”

Martin Usher added: “We take a collaborative and holistic approach to supporting those affected by childhood-acquired brain injuries and their families. We take great pride in being a trusted legal partner of CBIT as our ethos and approaches are closely aligned.”

The appointment builds upon our long-standing support for CBIT, which includes sponsoring and taking a leading role in the organisation of annual The CBIT Games, which continues to grow year on year. It also adds to our partnerships and close work with other charities, including The Katie Piper Foundation, Spinal Injuries Association, RoadPeace and Derbyshire Blood Bikes.
