A brain injury is caused at least initially by an outside force, but includes the complications which can follow, such as damage caused by lack of oxygen, rising pressure and swelling in the brain. A traumatic brain injury can be seen as a chain of events beginning with the first injury which occurs in the seconds after the accident and being made worse by a second injury which happens in the minutes and hours after this, depending on when skilled medical intervention occurs
The firm are now Members of Headway - the brain injury association Personal Injury Solicitors List - having met the criteria for inclusion in the Headway Personal Injury Solicitors List.
