How Can A Brain Injury Affect Me?
A very serious brain injury can cause a number of debilitating effects . These include: a total lack of awareness of environment; double incontinence; no language and, in many cases, no quality of life with the requirement for 24-hour care. If you have suffered a life changing injury you may be unable to work and in need of significant care.
A very serious brain injury can be debilitating for an individual and have a range of life-altering effects. These might include:
- impaired movement and mobility
- cognitive imparement
- poor balance
- speech problems
- reduced memory
- epilepsy
- intermittent headaches
Psychological problems are also linked to brain injuries, including personality and depression. These symptoms can often place severe stress on relationships and result in upsetting and distressing circumstances for survivors and their families.
Whether your injury is psychological or physical you may have suffered life changing effects. Being compensated for your injury will not put you in the position you were in before your accident but it can go some way to improving the quality of life for you and your family by giving you access to the best rehabilitation and securing you and your family’s financial future.
Financial Pressures And Brain Injuries
The financial pressures often associated with a brain injury can be alleviated by compensation. Often, individuals with brain injury require extensive support from medical professionals and specialist equipment. They might even require adaptations to be made to their home following their injury. A successful compensation claim can provide a means of funding these future requirements. Compensation can also reimburse the cost of medical expenses that have been incurred prior to beginning the legal process.
How Are Brain Injury Classified?
As well as wanting to know how much compensation for brain damage, you may also appreciate knowing how your brain injury may be categorised and linked with a compensation amount. Brain injuries are categorised as ranging from very severe to minor. Brain injuries can result in an increased risk of epilepsy and it is important you choose an experienced brain injury solicitor to assist you in recovering compensation
Brain Injury Compensation
In all personal injury cases, the amount of compensation you receive will depend on the degree of insight you have, your life expectancy, whether you can return to work and whether or not you need care and support or specialised accommodation and equipment. It may be that you or your loved one needs support to make decisions or deal with finances. Each brain injury case is different and requires specialist advice but if you or your loved one requires significant support following a brain injury your claim may well be worth in excess of 1 million pounds and some , several million pounds.
