Brain injury is not uncommon. The Brain Injury Resource Foundation has reported statistics stating that each year, around 125,000 people are admitted to hospital in the United Kingdom to be treated for an injury affecting the brain in some way.

They can range from very minor injuries to more serious ones and may well affect other parts of the body, sometimes resulting in physical disability. Symptoms can also affect the behaviour of those who have been injured. People often experience memory loss, personality change, tiredness, and an inability to concentrate. In very serious cases, this damage – both physical and mental – can be permanent.

Common injuries include post concussion syndrome, brain stem injury, blood clots on the brain and brain trauma.

Claims for brain injury

As with most injuries, claims are made when the injured party is not at fault for the damage sustained. Brain injury claims can often occur in car accidents. If this applies to you, please take a look at our Car Accidents claim page. Sadly, accidents also happen frequently in the workplace. If this is how you have sustained yours, you will find our Work Injury Claim page helpful.

Head injuries of all kinds can often be more serious than is first thought, and this is even more so with brain injury. Symptoms can take some time to become apparent, so please do not assume everything is OK simply because there is nothing obviously wrong – it is imperative that you seek medical advice as soon as the injury occurs.

In order to recover following a brain injury, it is essential that you are cared for in the proper manner. It is therefore vital that you receive a reliable brain injury diagnosis and subsequently the best brain injury treatment available. This may include brain surgery and will almost definitely require rehabilitation.

Of course, this can take a long time, and in the most severe cases, the damage can be permanent. This may lead to time off work and perhaps retirement, and you may also need regular help in doing things you usually do for yourself. You may think that this would place a terrible financial strain on you, but it won’t cost you a penny.
