Head and brain injuries can have a devastating impact upon the sufferer as well as their family and loved ones. The severity of the damage and symptoms is very much dependent upon the force of the trauma sustained and the part of the brain affected, but regardless of the extent of the injury it is generally accepted that the sooner you start receiving specialist medical and rehabilitation treatment, the greater the chances are of making the best possible recovery.
If you are involved in a car crash then the jarring motion caused by the impact can easily damage the skull and lead to serious injury. Although there is little doubt that air bags and other safety devices fitted in modern cars have saved countless lives over the years, they do pose their own hazards as they can cause impact injuries to the head and the brain. Similarly pedestrians who are struck by motor vehicles are at significant risk of striking their head on either the car involved in the incident, or the road.
This could include lack of oxygen to the brain during operations or childbirth, misdiagnosis of a medical complaint leading to complications or a lack of treatment or overdoses / wrong medication. Whatever the cause of the injury we have specialist medical negligence solicitors who can investigate your case and see if the injury could have or should have been avoided.
Most often caused by being struck by falling objects or falling from a height. Employers should provide you with hard hats and other suitable safety equipment such as harnesses if your work requires it, but sadly not all do. Not only should the equipment be provided but you should receive full training on its correct use and there should be enforcement procedures in place to make sure the guidelines are followed.
