Understanding head injuries

Head injuries range from mild short-lived concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Common symptoms include:

Headaches
Dizziness
Memory loss
Cognitive impairments
Emotional changes

These injuries can have long-lasting effects on your life, impacting your ability to work, perform daily activities, and enjoy life.

One of the most usual TBI’s we see as road traffic practitioners is a Diffuse Axonal Injury.

Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) is a severe form of traumatic brain injury (TBI) commonly seen in road traffic accidents, characterized by widespread damage to the brain’s white matter tracts, which disrupts communication between different brain regions. Caused by high-speed acceleration or deceleration forces, DAI leads to significant neurological impairments, including cognitive, motor, and sensory deficits. Symptoms vary based on injury severity and location, potentially involving loss of consciousness, coma, memory deficits, and motor or sensory disturbances. DAI is typically diagnosed through imaging techniques like CT or MRI scans, although some cases are identified later through clinical presentation. These injuries can profoundly impact one’s ability to work, perform daily activities, and enjoy life.

Success story

“We represented a teenager who had been involved in a high-speed collision. Our client’s driver was racing another friend and was travelling at excessive speed when they collided head on with another vehicle. Our client suffered a fractured spine requiring surgery, internal injuries and a diffuse axonal injury which was only discovered throughout the lifetime of the case during rehabilitation as it had not shown up on scans. We secured over £500,000 for our client. “
