Head Injuries
As with Brain Injuries the evaluation of head injuries and the level of disability resulting from them is an area where expert advice is needed
The complexities of this area of the body mean that medical investigations of the injury can involve a whole host of different disciplines. For example a facio/maxillary surgeon may be needed to report on any damage to the jaw, cheekbones and eye sockets an ENT surgeon on damage to the nose or hearing mechanism, an orthodontic expert on damage to teeth, an ophthalmic surgeon on eyesight, a neurologist on issues such as epilepsy or nerve damage. The more severe head injury claims require a multi disciplinary approach. This involves your Solicitor building up a team of experts where disciplines do not overlap.
We have a track record in putting together teams that will focus on delivering practical help to the victims of head injuries who are struggling to cope with the problems of everyday living as well as securing substantial compensation for them.
In dealing with head injuries it is important to consider the long-term risks of epilepsy and associated fitting. Failure to do so can result in cases being settled for too little compensation and/or people losing the opportunity to ask for further compensation should this very serious complication occur in the future.
If you have been the victim of a head injury which wasn't your fault then find out how we can use our expertise and experience to help you secure the compensation that you deserve and assist with your rehabilitation. Call one of our personal injury specialists now.
