To gain a better understanding of what types of head injury claims you could make, here are some examples of injuries you can claim for, and circumstances that may lead to those injuries:
A skull fracture is any form of break to the cranial bone. Fractures are not always plain to the naked eye, and symptoms that can indicate an internal fracture include; bruising to the face, bleeding from the ears or nose and swelling and tenderness.
Some examples of how you may have gained this type of injury include:
If you have experienced an accident, in a public or commercial setting, that wasn’t your fault and has resulted in a head fracture, start your claim today to gain compensation for your injury.
A haematoma is a gathering of blood underneath the skin barrier, typically caused by a heavy impact that did not break the skin. Symptoms include; headaches, drowsiness, vomiting and even loss of consciousness.
While many haematomas can fix themselves, serious cases can require surgical intervention and can have long-term side effects, such as concentration and memory issues, changes in mood and behaviour, and even difficulties with speech.
Recovery can be a long and difficult road and may result in a very different future. Your home and work may need adaptations, or you could be in a position where you cannot work again. If you’ve had a haematoma due to an injury in the workplace, you could be eligible to make a head injury claim.
A concussion is considered a type of hidden injury, mainly due to the fact that you may not even be aware that you have been concussed.
Concussion occurs when a person receives a head injury or knock to the body, resulting in a brain injury that is not large enough to be easily detectable, but impactful enough to have some long-term side effects. These side effects include:
In most cases, these side effects will subside after a few days to a week, but in more severe cases, these side effects can remain present for months after the injury.
If you think you could be eligible to make a concussion based head injury claim, request a call back from a member of our team for advice.
