Common Types of Brain and Head Injuries

Brain and head injuries can be caused by road traffic accidents, accidents at work, medical negligence and sports-related injuries. Traumatic brain and head injuries are serious and can be catastrophic for those affected and their families. If you or someone you know is suffering from a head or brain injury, you may be entitled to compensation.

Concussion

A concussion is caused by a blow or bump to the head. It is the most common type of traumatic brain injury and can range from mild to serious. Symptoms of concussion include headaches, nausea, confusion and temporary memory loss.

Skull Fracture

A skull fracture is when the bone in the skull is broken by injury or trauma. The most common causes of skull fracture in adults are a fall, road traffic accident, blunt force trauma and sporting injury.

Brain Haemorrhages

Brain haemorrhages refer to bleeding on the surface of the brain caused by head injury. It can be caused by trauma such as a motor vehicle accident or a fall.

Common Types of Brain and Head Injury Claims

There are many different types of brain and head injuries that you may be able to make a claim for. If you have a brain or head injury due to somebody else’s negligence, our expert brain injury solicitors may be able to help you make a compensation claim.

Medical Negligence

Medical negligence and errors can cause serious brain and head injuries. This includes surgical errors, misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Brain injuries caused by medical negligence can range from traumatic brain injuries to hypoxic brain injuries.

Criminal Injuries

If you are suffering a brain injury as a result of violent crime or criminal assault, you may be able to make a claim to compensate for your pain and any financial losses. Violent and physical crime can include traumatic brain injuries such as concussions and contusions.

Sporting Injuries

In sports head injuries are most often caused by direct blows to the head. This is especially true in contact sports. Sporting injuries can cause a range of traumatic brain injuries including concussions and brain haemorrhages.

Our Specialist Approach

If you decide to make a head injury claim, our brain injury solicitors will obtain evidence from a range of experts to fully understand the extent of your injuries and your needs. Additionally, we will obtain medical reports from medical professionals to assess your disabilities and the impact they are expected to have on your life now and in the future.

To identify further treatments to assist you, our team will investigate new equipment and seek advice from experts in technology, occupational therapy, mobility and speech. Most importantly, we will ask a care expert to assess what care and support you require to live a full life.
