Case Studies
It is reported that more than a million people in the UK suffer a head injury each year. Some will make a full recovery but for others the effects will be life changing. The implications are far reaching and the financial consequences, in particular, for the injured person and family can be severe and understandably worrying.
In some cases the injury can lead to ongoing disability so that the injured person can no longer work and may need constant care and assistance with daily activities. The effects of a head injury are wide ranging and can be physical, such as headaches, dizziness, vision problems, reduced balance; and emotional/behavioural, such as depression, frustration, lack of self-control; and cognitive difficulties, such as memory problems and lack of concentration. At Withy King we are sympathetic to these problems and look for answers immediately, particularly in relation to the issues of care and support and accommodation. Sadly, State assistance and benefits are often limited.
If someone else’s negligence was the cause of the injury, it is vital to ensure that the legal claim for compensation is pursued as soon as possible by a specialist Solicitor. The important first steps need to be quickly taken to progress the legal claim. Compensation can support a better quality of life, provide security for the future and enable the injured person to achieve the highest possible level of independence. Whilst money cannot ever fully compensate for losses sustained by life changing injuries, it can help to ensure a future which is as secure, supported and comfortable as possible.
