Brain injury and head injury claims
‘No head injury is too
severe to despair nor too trivial to ignore’
Hippocrates,
c.48BC
Brain injury and head injury claims
Each year an estimated 1 million people
attend hospital A&E in the UK following a head injury. Of
these, around 135,000 people are treated for brain injury related
conditions.
A traumatic brain injury
is damage caused to the brain by an external force to the head. It
may produce a unique range of problems which may be classed as
mild, moderate or severe.
Brain injury and head injury symptoms
Brain and head injury symptoms could generally
include:
- Behavioural changes or difficulties
- Problems with memory
- Poor or loss of concentration
- Problems with planning and organising
- Not able to problem solve
Some of the problems
experienced through a brain or head injury may be
apparent to others. However, unlike physical injuries, the vast
majority of problems suffered remain hidden and are not always
obvious to other people.
