The range of head injury can be from something as mild as a concussion, to the more serious like a fractured skull or brain swelling. Objects striking the head can penetrate the skull and the injury will be obvious immediately. In other cases, there is no penetration of the skull or even the scalp; this injury is known as a closed head injury.
Over 3/4 of adults who sustain severe head injuries will remain disabled 12 months after their accident. A head injury can instantly change a person's life. However with the right solicitor and an award of compensation, rehabilitation and treatment can often be accessed, thus improving their quality of life.
