Claim Compensation for Your Brain and Head Injury

Understanding Brain Injury and Head Injury

Brain injuries and head injuries are among the most serious types of harm one can experience. The brain controls all functions of the body, including speech, movement, reflexes, thought, and personality. When injured, the consequences can be catastrophic on one’s quality of life. Depending on the severity, such injuries can be traumatic for both the victim and their family. Often, victims are left unable to care for themselves and must rely on family members or hire full-time carers to tend to them daily.

Types of Brain Injury and Head Injury

These injuries are classified as either traumatic or non-traumatic. Non-traumatic brain injuries can be caused by strokes, meningitis, tumours, or lack of oxygen to the brain, among other things. Due to their nature, non-traumatic injuries are also referred to as ‘acquired brain injuries’.

Traumatic Brain Injury and Head Injury

Traumatic brain injuries and head injuries are caused by external factors, such as a severe blow to the head or the piercing of the skull. Often, this type of trauma can result in irreparable damage, leading to permanent physical or mental disability. Some common accidents that can lead to such traumatic injuries include road traffic collisions, falls from height, being struck by falling or heavy objects, contact sports, medical negligence, and criminal attacks.

Symptoms of Brain Injury and Head Injury

Injuries to the brain or head can lead to a wide range of symptoms, varying in severity. These symptoms can affect someone mentally, physically, emotionally, or a combination of all three. Some injuries following an accident involving the head can be mild and short-lived. We frequently see this with fractured skulls or concussions, where the injured person may feel nauseous and experience dizziness and pain for a period but fully recover.

However, those who suffer from traumatic injuries of the highest degree may be left with complete paralysis or epilepsy. Others may sustain lifelong physical or mental disabilities, experiencing mood swings, personality changes, or restricted movement in specific parts of the body.
