Brain Injury Compensation Claims

Back to Other Compensation Claims

Brain injuries are assessed as either 'open' or 'closed'. Open injuries arise due to considerable force to the head and, in most cases, fracture of the skull. Closed injuries can be caused similarly but the injury is retained within the skull, resulting in dangerous cerebral swelling.

Cognitive symptoms affect awareness, comprehension, intelligence and perception. In brief, these symptoms disturb the sensory skills and the patient is likely to have poor concentration, memory loss and communication difficulties.

Physical symptoms also affect the sensory areas, resulting in poor vision, balance and speech problems. Headaches, fatigue and possible seizures are likely results of brain injuries. Invariably, emotional problems also arise, clearly affecting mood and possibly increasing anxiety and depression.

Personal Injury Compensation: the type of trauma and corresponding care package approved are indicative in the legal process and maximum awards are sought. A specialised personal injury solicitor will be able to advise you on this plan of action.
