Although relatively small, the brain stem is absolutely vital in helping to ensure that the human body and mind performs its most basic functions, and brain stem injury, whether it has been suffered in a motorcycle accident, car crash or workplace incident can cause severe and permanent damage.
What does the brain stem do?
The brain stem helps us regulate and control essential tasks such as breathing, swallowing, digestion, balance, heartbeat, memory and consciousness.
Consequences of a brain stem injury
A brain stem injury can have profound consequences and result in a variety of symptoms, from insomnia, slurred speech, emotional and cognitive changes, dysphagia or difficulty balancing to paralysis, loss of consciousness and in some cases, sudden cardiac arrest.
Typically, an injury of this type will be classified as either mild, moderate or severe.
Causes of brain stem injury
Brain stem injuries can occur as a result of sudden traumatic impact, such as that sustained in a road traffic accident, in a fall from height, in a skiing accident or as a result of being struck by a falling object.
Other possible causes of the injury to the brain stem are severe dehydration, oxygen deprivation, medical negligence or penetration of the skull.
Claim compensation for a brain stem injury
If a close family member, whether a spouse, child, parent or dependent has suffered a brain stem injury as a result of an accident or some other form of negligence, it may be in your interests to proceed with a claim for compensation.
