Amount of Compensation

Compensation amounts depending upon the pain and suffering associated with your specific injury, its impact upon your ability to function as well as any additional financial losses that have occurred. For example, if you have had to pay for treatment or have had to take time off from work, incurring financial loss, then you may be able to make a claim for this through compensation.

To find out how much compensation you are likely to be owed you should speak directly to a personal injury solicitor who can assess your case. Factors like pain, suffering and loss of function will be determined through a medical examination by a medical professional.

Concussion

While a concussion is fairly common it is also the least serious form of traumatic brain injury, usually occurring after a blow or jolt to the head. A concussion is essentially when an impact to the head causes shaking inside the brain or the skull which temporarily disrupts normal brain function. A loss of consciousness can occur, but this does not always happen.
