There are many different types of brain injuries from traumatic brain injuries, which can occur from assaults, road traffic collisions or accidents at work to hypoxic and anoxic brain injuries, which can occur through medical negligence. Our team specialise in dealing with all brain injury claims for both adults and children, from the mildest to the most serious.
Sustaining a brain injury can be life-changing, not only for the individual but for their friends and family too. Trying to come to terms with the effects of the injury while overcoming hurdles such as returning to work or education, undergoing medical treatments, maintaining relationships and navigating the welfare benefits system is hard enough, which is why we strive to make the litigation experience as easy and stress-free as possible.
Traumatic brain injuries
One of the most common types of brain injury is a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) often referred to as concussion. While concussion may result in no long-term damage to the brain and symptoms usually resolve themselves within a matter of weeks or months, some people can go on to develop longer term symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, fatigue and changes to their mood and personality. This is often referred to as post-concussion syndrome.
Mild traumatic brain injury claims can be very complex as scans often show no abnormalities, meaning such injuries can be missed and initially undiagnosed. Our team have a wealth of experience in dealing with these types of claims and will undertake thorough investigations to get to the bottom of any injury sustained and its effects.
When dealing with your brain injury claim – whether mild, moderate or severe – we will work alongside experienced case managers, occupational therapists, neuropsychologists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, support workers and other such professionals to get you the care and support you need in order to learn to live a meaningful life following a brain injury.
Other types of brain injuries
Other types of brain injuries, such as stroke and hypoxic and anoxic brain injuries may be caused by medical negligence or medical negligence may have occurred if brain tumours or aneurysms go undiagnosed. Our specialist medical negligence team can help you in securing the compensation, rehabilitation and most importantly the justice you deserve.
