Injury

Accident and Emergency departments in UK hospitals deal with over a million head injuries every year and of these 12,000 are serious conditions involving loss of consciousness for several hours with slow recovery and potential traumatic brain injury (TBI). A head injury does not always involve brain damage and severe facial or scalp lacerations and fractured bones in the face and jaw may not involve TBI which is however frequently a consequence of severe trauma to the head where there is no evidence of external injury. In all of these cases if the damage has been caused by the negligence of a third party including an employer or a co-worker it may be possible to start legal action for a head injury compensation claim.

Traumatic Brain Injury

A head injury with no visible signs or with just with just minor cuts and abrasions to the face or scalp can result in TBI. Don't assume that because the visual damage is slight that there is no substantial damage and that a head injury compensation claim cannot be made. Acute damage might include brain damage, amnesia and psychological scars causing functional or social difficulties. Even minor accidents can result in severe TBI leading to a successful head injury compensation claim. Any head injury must taken extremely seriously and investigated fully.

Negligence

Accidents causing head injuries have two main sources being road traffic accidents and industrial accidents however criminal assault contributes a substantial percentage which can be compensated through the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority. An accident at work may occur due to poor safety procedures, failure by the employer to provide a safe system of work, failure to provide or use protective safety equipment, machinery and plant failure, internal vehicle collisions or because of inadequate training & supervision. It is important that all appropriate safety measures are put into place and any violations of health and safety regulations can help a claimants head injury compensation claim. If you think that someone else was at fault and caused or contributed to the accident that caused your injuries, it is important that you consult a legal advisor as soon as possible to obtain advice about a potential head injury compensation claim.
