They also talk about the primary case law in this area, Mathieu v Aviva & Hinds, where a claim for provisional damages in relation to dementia was rejected on the basis that the Claimant could not show a sufficient causal link, on the balance of probabilities, between his TBI and any future risk of dementia.
