If you or a family member has suffered from a brain injury, whether the affects have been relatively mild or severe, then you need to take advice from those specialising in helping those who have been the victims of brain injury. We at Leo Abse and Cohen have specialist solicitors with expertise in brain injury claims. We are a member of Headway - the brain injury charity's Panel of recognised brain injury specialists.
Reasons for Brain Injury
The brain can be injured in a variety of ways from road traffic accidents to the results of clinical negligence. However if you have suffered an injury to your brain which may have arisen as a result of somebody else's fault then you need to take specialist advice.
Types of Brain Injury
There are a huge variety of injuries that can be sustained to the brain which can have minor or the most severe of affects. What might appear to some to be relatively minor injury can lead to subtle changes in personality, behaviour and the function of the brain which usually only specialists in brain injury will be able to understand and relate to. Severe brain injury can have absolutely catastrophic affects on the injured party and their family to the extent that a 24 hour care regime is required, together with adapted housing and adapted transport. Those with severe brain injury find their entire life is turned upside down and dramatically changed. It can affect personality, behaviour and can have significant affect on physical abilities, such as affecting the ability to walk, to stand for any period of time and in all manner of ways. Head injury can also, in some cases, lead to the development of epilepsy and in many cases lead to the risk of development of epilepsy over and above that which normally exists.
