When Can You Make a Head Injury Claim?

If you have sustained a head injury in an accident that wasn't your fault, you will often be able to make a claim for compensation. There are several key factors that must be proved to make your claim: that someone else had a duty of care towards you, that they breached their duty, and that you were injured as a result.

How Can Compensation Help a Traumatic Brain Injury After a Car Accident?

A car accident can change your life in a second, and one of the most serious possible outcomes of a crash is a traumatic brain injury (TBI). A TBI happens when a sudden physical force damages the brain, such as if the head hits the steering wheel, window, or dashboard in a motor vehicle crash. It can also happen if the head moves back and forth quickly, causing the brain to shake inside the skull.
