Suffering a brain or head injury can have serious and long-lasting effects. They don’t simply impact the individual but have significant transformative effects on the entire family.
Morgan’s life changed when she sustained a brain injury after a serious car accident. She was in the rear seat passenger when her vehicle was involved in a head on collision with an oncoming car. The car crash was so serious she had to be cut free from the car and taken by ambulance to the Royal Victoria Hospital.
Morgan was treated initially in ICU. She was diagnosed as suffering a traumatic brain injury. She was an inpatient for approximately 6 months before being discharged. Despite the fantastic treatment that she received, she was left with significant cognitive issues due to her traumatic brain injury. She also had significant mobility issues in relation to her leg injury and was required to use a rollator.
Morgan contacted Paschal O’Hare Personal Injury Solicitors to bring a claim on her behalf and receive the compensation she required to assist with her circumstances.
Many people do not realise how common brain and head injuries can be. According to Headway, there are around 954 acquired brain injury (ABI) admissions per day to UK hospitals – or one every 90 seconds. Additionally, there are 427 admissions per day for head injury, which equates to one every 3 minutes.
Head and brain injuries are serious and can cause many persistent health issues. While many people do not initially experience any symptoms, some can experience health issues for years after even a minor head or brain injury. As the severity of the injuries increases, so does the likelihood of long term effects. The impact of these types of injuries can be extensive and can impact personal and family life. This is why we firmly believe that anyone who suffers from a head or brain injury deserves the best possible care and rehabilitative services.
