Trauma to the head is the main cause of head injury and brain damage. Some examples of how this trauma is caused are through accidents such as road traffic accidents, slip, trip or fall accidents, workplace accidents and sports related accidents as well as a violent attack.
Head injuries caused by aspects such as the above can damage the scalp, skull or brain. This can happen regardless of whether the accident was minor, severe or life threatening. Brain damage compensation awards can be quite significant and worth pursuing.
However you sustained your head injury the symptoms that you will more than likely be suffering from are as follows:
• Headache
• Nausea or vomiting
• Blurred vision and slurred speech
• Confusion or drowsiness
• Loss of consciousness
• Blood or clear fluid coming from the ears or nose
If you have been involved in an accident that has caused damage to your head then it is highly important that you seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you don’t think that your head injury seems that bad; you may think that minor head injuries are nothing to worry about but minor head injuries can lead to more major injuries if they are left untreated.
If you suffer a loss of consciousness, even for a short amount of time then it is one of the clearest indications that the brain may have been affected by a blow to the head, in cases such as this it is best that an ambulance is called. Also a confusion state involving uncertainty about time, date, and location and/or a period of memory loss for the events surrounding the head injury are indications that you have suffered trauma to the brain; if any of these symptoms are present it is essential that the head injury is taken seriously and medical help is sought straight away.
