About head and brain injury
The effects of head and brain injuries
Our solicitors have a lot of experience and so they understand the impact that head and brain injuries can have . From the most minor injury to the most severe, the effects are often serious and long lasting for the injured person as well as his or her family and friends.
A head or brain injury can affect a person in many different ways. It can affect how their body works, how they think (including their memory and ability to learn), how they behave, and their emotions. Everyone is different and so a brain injury affects everyone in a different way and will usually give rise to a set of individual needs.
The knock-on effects of a brain injury vary from severe disability to minor impairments. An individual may need a range of specialist care and medical treatment, assistance returning to work or simply support with a particular activity. A brain injury can reduce a person’s ability to work long hours or it can lead to a radical change of lifestyle, requiring new accommodation and rehabilitation.
The causes of head and brain injuries
Head and brain injuries are caused by a whole range of events, including road traffic accidents, workplace accidents, falls or medical incidents. Medical causes include medical negligence, stroke, infection, haemorrhage and hypoxic and anoxic injury. It may not be clear at first who is to blame for an injury but if you know or suspect that it was somebody else’s fault, you should contact our specialist solicitors to find out if we can help.
Whatever head or brain injury you, or your relative, have suffered, our solicitors have the experience and understanding to provide you with expert legal advice and support.
