Head Injuries in Accidents

Injuries to your head are perhaps the most serious and dangerous thing that you can suffer in an accident. Even if you are able to recover fully, you have a long and difficult road ahead of you.

Any type of trauma to the head has the potential to cause serious and lasting injury. The biggest fear is that you suffered a brain injury. There is no such thing as a minor brain injury - they are either moderate or severe. Even when you recover more quickly from a brain injury, you may still feel the effects of something like a concussion for a long time.

More serious brain injuries can cause permanent damage because the brain controls the messages that are sent to the rest of the body. All it takes is sudden trauma to the head to cause a serious injury. Afterwards, you could be left with:

  • Difficulty speaking and expressing yourself
  • Trouble concentrating and gathering your thoughts
  • Persistent headaches
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Inconsistent moods
  • Inability to walk or fully move

Not only would you not be able to live the life that you did before the accident, but you may not be able to work again. You should legally be entitled to damages when you have suffered a head injury, and the accident was someone else’s fault. It is vital to correctly estimate your damages, so you have a starting point for settlement negotiations. You must get enough money to pay for your needs in the future.
