Head and brain injury claim
Many people suffer minor head injuries such as cuts, bumps and bruises, and make a full recovery without any lasting problems. But some head injuries can be much more serious. The symptoms of a brain injury are classified as mild, moderate or severe, depending on the damage to the brain.Minor signs of damage may be a change in the sense of taste, touch or smell, or slight memory or speech problems. But if the head violently hits an object, perhaps in a road accident or during an assault, this can result in a traumatic or "acquired" brain injury. The brain can also be damaged if something penetrates the skull. Sometimes babies suffer brain damage during birth, resulting in cerebral palsy.
More serious brain injuries often require a lot of ongoing nursing and other care, it can mean the injured person is unable to work or earn a living, and may cause serious psychological problems with personality changes and behaviour problems. Major damage can leave the victim in a coma or in a permanent vegetative state.
