subject: Brain Injury Claims Explained [print this page] Brain injury claims can be made against any accident or incident that is not the fault of the injured person. Brain injuries, and the extent of the injuries will cause different people varying problems (all with varying degrees of difficulty), which can also mean lengthy rehabilitation. Treatment is a mainstay of brain injuries, which could also include a financial cost prior to making a brain injury claim, so if you have sustained a brain injury, be sure to keep a record of all resultant costs incurred.
The effects of a brain injury can be wide-ranging. Difficulties with motor skills, physical difficulties, poor concentration, and even cognitive difficulties can be a direct result of brain injury, and the intensity of all of these side-effects can range from the extreme, moderate to 'light'. This won't take away the blame or the fact that you have sustained a brain injury, so it would be advisable to check with a proven brain injury specialist, with a strong track record of settling claims, who can advise on how to proceed with a claim.
Brain injuries can arise from a multitude of situations, from road traffic accidents, falls, assault and even medical negligence. The last example, though you may think is extreme, can result from a whole host of possibilities, ranging from misdiagnoses, surgical error, mistreatment or even malpractice.
Brain injuries can arise from a whole host of situations, from road traffic accidents, slips or falls, assault and even medical negligence from a professional. The last example, though extreme, can result from a multitude of possibilities, which range from misdiagnoses, surgical error, mistreatment or malpractice on behalf of the 'at fault' medical professional.
Brain injuries tend to be treated with a greater sense of urgency that other personal injuries, this is due to the fact that with brain injuries must come a level of support from close family and friends that was previously not required. Compensation for brain injury claims should therefore include a provision for rehabilitation and support, if needed - which takes the added 'burden' away from family.
