A brain injury can be caused by a blow to the head, tumour, stroke or an infection. Brain injuries can occur as a result of road traffic accidents, assaults, slips and trips, falls, sports injuries and concussions. Concussions can occur as a result of even what seem to be minor accidents.
However, not all brain injuries are accidents. If you think you may be eligible to claim compensation, the team of expert head injury solicitors at TLW can help.
Each year an estimated 1 million people attend hospital A&E in the UK following a head injury. Many more people suffer injuries that are not reported and not assessed by a medical professional.
