Head Injury
Up to 125,000 people suffer from brain injuries each year in the UK. If you have suffered a head injury or if you know someone close to you that is living through the consequences of a serious incident, you will understand the devastating impact this can have on everyday life for that person and those around them.
Head injuries can result from a wide range of situations. You may have been injured in a car crash, or as a pedestrian crossing the road. Maybe you have been the victim of being hit by a falling object, or falling off your bike whilst a driver's door has been opened.
Unlike injuries sustained to other parts of the body, the brain is "invisible" to the naked eye and consequently harder to diagnose. As we all know, the brain is the sole control unit to the body and many things we take for granted can be affected, like taste, smell and other senses not to mention memory and emotion.
The Royal College of Surgeons of England provided statistics in 1999 that showed that when moderate head injuries occur, 63% remain disabled a year after their injuries and this increases to 85% if you have suffered a serious head injury. When you have suffered a minor injury, you are still susceptible to suffering severe headaches, memory problems and 34% of people are unemployed 3 months following their accident.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of a head injury caused either at work or in public, adjustments have to be made to your everyday activities and this can take its toll. Depending on your circumstances you may be entitled to compensation and Claims.co.uk have specialist teams to assist you in recovering what you are entitled to.
We know the impact that this event can have on your financial circumstances, lifestyle and general wellbeing.
