Playing sport is a great way to stay active, build skills, and be part of a team. But when injuries happen, it’s not always clear who is responsible.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can produce life-altering challenges that persist long after the initial trauma. Every TBI is unique, but many survivors face lasting physical, cognitive and emotional effects.
When someone you love has been in an accident, the most obvious injuries such as cuts, bruises, and broken bones are the ones that get immediate attention. Yet brain injuries can hide in plain sight. A sudden blow or jolt to the head may disturb normal brain function, and the warning signs often develop slowly. In this guide we explore the signs individuals may recognise early on, so they can secure the right medical treatment and, where negligence is involved, the compensation needed to fund recovery.
When someone suffers a traumatic brain injury (TBI), life can change in an instant. If you or a loved one has sustained a TBI due to someone else’s negligence or a criminal act, you may be entitled to compensation. At Switalskis, we understand how overwhelming this time can be, and we’re here to help you navigate your options with clarity and compassion.
