Suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or any form of brain damage can have life-altering consequences, and not just for the injured person, but for their family as well. At Harris Fowler Solicitors, we understand how complex and distressing these injuries are, and we’re here to support you through the legal process of seeking compensation.
What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury is any injury to the brain caused by an external force, such as a blow to the head. TBIs can range from mild concussions to severe brain damage with long-term or permanent consequences.
Common causes of brain injuries in personal injury claims include:
- Road traffic accidents whether you’re a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrians.
- Workplace accidents including slips, trips or falls from height or being struck by equipment.
- Slips, trips and falls in public or private premises.
- Physical assaults.
The Impact of Brain Injuries
The effects of a brain injury depend on the severity and area of the brain affected. These may include:
- Memory loss or cognitive impairment
- Difficulty with speech, concentration or coordination
- Personality or behavioural changes
- Physical disability
- Emotional and psychological trauma
In severe cases, individuals may require long-term care or be unable to return to work. This can place an enormous financial and emotional burden on families.
