Brain Injury Sadly, brain injury is one of the most common consequences of a serious accident. Its effects can range from problems with balance and eyesight to memory loss, mood swings and depression. In very extreme cases a claimant may suffer a complete personality change so that he or she is unable to function normally or to return to work. The financial and emotional implications for the family as a whole can be devastating.Awards of compensation in successful cases can be very high. If you are unlucky enough to have suffered such an injury, a specialist solicitor will be able to obtain the necessary expert evidence required to support your claim. He or she will also advise you about the possibility of including a claim for the cost of nursing or other rehabilitative care.
To bring a claim for damages for injury suffered as a result of a road accident, you need not be the driver of the vehicle. The case reports on this site include examples of claims brought by a passenger, a motorcyclist and even a child pedestrian.
