Sometimes a brain injury can cause secondary injuries to those who have suffered an initial brain injury.
Secondary brain injuries happen when a brain injury directly causes another injury. Secondary injuries can make the original brain injury symptoms much worse.
Often, secondary brain injuries happen due to the brain being starved of oxygen.
Making a secondary brain injury claim
Secondary brain injuries can surface days, weeks or even months after the original brain injury happens.
If you believe that you or a loved one has experienced a secondary brain injury after a mild, moderate or severe brain injury, it's important to seek medical advice.
Secondary brain injuries can be caused after personal injury or negligence. If you believe that you could make a claim for secondary brain injury compensation in such circumstances, be sure to seek the right legal advice.
