What is bleeding on the brain?

A brain haemorrhage is any injury in which there is bleeding on or around the brain. The most common cause is a traumatic blow to the head or a haemorrhagic stroke (also know as a ruptured aneurysm).

Even a seemingly minor head injury can result in a brain haemorrhage, with symptoms sometimes taking as long as several weeks to develop. Medical investigation is essential following an accident if there is any reason to suspect the victim could be suffering from a bleed in the brain (see the list of symptoms below).

If you or someone close to you has suffered a brain haemorrhage as a result of a blunt trauma head injury or another form of accident, you may be entitled to make a brain injury compensation claim. Talk to Thompsons' personal injury solicitors today for more information.

"Various factors determine the settlement amount such as the severity of the injury, the prognosis, the psychological and the cognitive impact of the brain injury." 

What are the four types of brain haemorrhage?

A patient may be diagnosed with one of four types of brain haemorrhage depending on where the bleeding is situated. These are as follows:

BRAIN HAEMORRHAGESUBDURAL HAEMORRHAGECommonly caused as a result of traumatic brain injury. Blood pools between the skull and the brain’s surface (dura mater) resulting in worsening headache and a feelings of sickness.ANTERIORPOSTERIORSKULLDURA MATEREXTRADURAL HAEMORRHAGECommonly caused a result of traumatic brain injury. Results in bleeding between the outer membrane that covers the brain (dura mater) and the skull. Can cause patient to move in and out of consciousness as well as vomiting, headaches, confusion, seizures and loss of motor control.INTRACEREBRAL HAEMORRHAGEbleeding within the brain tissue itself. Potentially fatal, intracerebral haemorrhage is typically caused by hypertension (high blood pressure), arteriovenous malformations (abnormalities present at birth), or traumatic brain injury.FRACTURESUBARACHNOID HAEMORRHAGEA type of stroke caused by bleeding on the surface of the brain. Can be fatal. Although they are often spontaneous (not as a result of a specific incident or accident), they might occur as a result of medical negligence – for example, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.

What are the consequences of a brain haemorrhage?

Brain haemorrhages can result in serious long-term consequences: physical, cognitive and emotional.

Early diagnosis is critical if a patient is to reduce the possibility of long-term damage. CT scans and/or MRI scans may be used to achieve a diagnosis. Any of the following problems should prompt immediate medical investigation:

  • Severe headaches
  • Nausea
  • Vision problems
  • Seizures
  • Loss of consciousness

How can you get help with brain haemorrhage claims?

If you or someone close to you has suffered a brain haemorrhage as a result of another party's negligence – for example, a work accident, a road traffic accident or a slip, trip or fall – you may be able to claim compensation for your pain, injury, loss of amenity, expenses, care costs and more.

Tenacity, Intelligence, Ethics.

I am absolutely delighted with Raegan's professional approach and results and this is shown in my descriptors in the title above. This young lady has shown the tenacity I would wish for in such a situation coupled with high intelligence and also ethics followed to the letter. I would have no hesitation in dealing with this firm again, and as an ex technician for two high-risk Lloyds of London Syndicates, I cannot praise Raegan highly enough nor her firm. Fantastic work, thank you!. Very best wishes. Duncan Maclean (Ayr)
