A traumatic brain injury can have life-changing implications for an individual and their loved ones, seriously affecting how you live your life in any number of ways, from your education or work to your family life and general day to day living.

While physical problems are obviously very difficult to adjust to and can put real strain on your daily life, there are also the cognitive and personality changes to consider. These can also have a real impact on your work, your quality of life and your relationships.

With such a serious injury, it is important you seek advice from experts. Our specialist personal injury team has helped so many clients make brain injury claims, obtaining the compensation they deserve to provide them with funds needed to make necessary changes to their lifestyle.

What is AN acquired brain injury?

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) means that damage to the brain occurred after birth.

If the acquired head or brain injury was caused as the result of an accident for which someone else legally at fault or legally liable, we can help claim the compensation you are entitled to.

This could have arisen from a road traffic accident, medical negligence, a slip, trip or fall, or an accident at work.

The consequences of ABI can be catastrophic and unfortunately often means a major life adjustment is necessary.

Making that adjustment can be a critical factor in rehabilitation and recovery.

Here at What’s My Claim Worth we will do everything we can to ensure your compensation is sufficient to fund all necessary lifestyle changes as well as recovering all other financial losses incurred.

symptoms of a brain injury

The human brain is extremely vulnerable to impact. The brain surface can be torn and bruised as it collides with the skull, despite the protective bone surrounding the skull. It is also possible for blood vessels and nerves to be damaged. These injuries are likely to cause bleeding, swelling or a build up of fluid in the head, which in turn puts pressure on the brain and in certain circumstances can cause severe brain injury.

Those who have have a brain injury may experience the following:

Behavioural changes or difficulties
Memory problems
Poor concentration
Problems with planning and organising
Difficulties solving problems
Fatigue
Anger management issues
A lack of motivation

What caused your brain injury?

Slips, trips and falls

Slips, trips and falls in public or the workplace can cause many different injuries, including head injuries which can cause a brain injury.

These can happen as a result of loose carpeting, wet floors or unsuitable footwear.

Accidents like these are usually the most avoidable, and employers or shop owners should always be aware of any potential slip or trip hazards to ensure the area you work or visit is safe.

Falling objects

Head injuries which develop into brain injuries can sometimes be caused by being hit by falling objects at work or in public.

Employers are under a duty to provide you with a safe place of work. A lack of training and not having appropriate safeguards in place to reduce the risk of falling objects can mean you may be entitled to compensation.

Road traffic accidents

If you have been involved in a road traffic accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, including brain injuries following head trauma.

Medical negligence

If you have sustained a brain injury due to a delay in diagnosis, incorrect treatment or other medical negligence, you may be able to recover compensation from the healthcare provider. This can also cover instances where brain injuries have been caused during childbirth.
