Head Injury Compensation Claims

Head injuries range widely in their severity from minor cuts and abrasions to permanent brain damage and about 20% of traumatic brain injury (TBI) victims will die. Head injury compensation claims should be handled by a professional with expertise in TBI. If a third party failed to take reasonable care to ensure your safety and you are injured as a result you may be able to bring a head injury compensation claim against them. A person whose negligence causes an accident is legally responsible to pay compensation for the victim's suffering, injuries and losses. A judge can make an award for pain and suffering and all losses and expenses associated with the injury both for the past and estimated for the future.

Symptoms of Head Injuries

Some of the most serious head injuries include concussions, contusions, hemorrhages and skull fractures. All of these injuries can potentially cause damage to the brain, which is known as a traumatic brain injury (TBI). There are both mental and physical symptoms associated with head injuries. In addition to the pain and physical limitations the injury causes, the victim's mood may also be affected. Depression, sudden mood swings, anxiety and noticeable changes in personality are all potential symptoms of head injuries. Cognitive disabilities can also result, including memory loss, poor concentration, inability to focus and slowed speech. A TBI can lead to permanent disabilities, including paralysis.

Types of Head Injury

Head injuries are categorised into three main areas:

Closed head injury: This is typically caused by rapid acceleration or deceleration. With a closed head injury, there is no open wound or other visible damage to the victim's skin. Closed head injuries can result in widespread damage throughout the victim's brain.

Open head injury: These injuries are less common than closed head injuries. An open head injury is the result of the brain being exposed and damaged. In some cases, the damage is limited to one area of the brain and the victim may recover well.

Crush injury: This is the least common of the three types of head injuries. Rather than damage to the brain itself, a crush injury usually involves damage to the base of the skull and the brain stem.
