Amnesia claims and personal injury solicitors

If you have been injured in a car accident that was not your fault, you may well look to utilise the services of a personal injury solicitor just like thousands of other people in the UK do each year. Making a compensation claim means that you can get recompense for the pain and suffering you have experienced, not to mention reimbursements for all the costs and losses which your injury has incurred and which may be ongoing.

Whilst many of the car accident claims which personal injury solicitors handle are for physically prominent injuries, such as deep cuts or broken bones, there are also a range of compensation claims made for "hidden" injuries, such as those to the brain.

Car accidents and amnesia
Brain injuries are some of the most serious personal injuries which can be sustained and which can have repercussions in every area of your life. Damage to the brain can cause fundamental changes in a person, such as a change of personality and mental health problems, as well as life-altering issues with memory, concentration and language.

One of the most severe brain injuries is amnesia, where the person loses part or all of their memory. Whilst there are very few cases of total memory loss, people may find that even partial amnesia causes them significant problems.

In the case of a car accident, someone may suffer retrograde amnesia, where they cannot recall events both before and immediately after the crash. In some cases, this can be just a matter of minutes in all, but some find that their amnesia has affected their memories for weeks, months and even years before the car accident.

It is possible to recover from amnesia but it is generally the case that time is an important factor in this recovery. Memories may come back in bits and pieces in the weeks and months following a car accident but some find that they never fully regain the memories that they lost.
