The consequences of a brain injury are often fatal or can lead to irrecoverable damage such as paralysis so those who have suffered from a traumatic incident which was not their fault often seek compensation because of the costs of coping with the practicalities of life.
Although oxygen deprivation and other birth trauma can lead to permanent brain damage, many more instances of brain injury occur in adults due to illness and accidents.
These instances of so-called acquired brain injury (ABI) can be caused by a wide variety of incidents, some of which may be the result of actions or failures of other people or organisations,
Even a simple activity such as walking to work could result in a disabling event if, for example, the victim were to fall heavily after slipping on an unexpected slippery surface or falling over an obstruction left on the path.
Being a victim of a car crash or similar road traffic accident is an all-too-familiar cause of brain injury, although with the increased use of seat belts and air bags, many injuries are less serious than in the past when safety was not an integral part of car design.
Accidents while playing sport are not unusual and many cannot be blamed on anything other than the normal rough and tumble of competition. However, in some games, such as rugby where there is a large amount of contact between players, head injury has resulted from bad tackling or reckless play.
Other instances where a leisure activity has resulted in harm include near-drowning incidents when the victims have been starved of oxygen for so long it has resulted in a permanent disability.
If an acquired brain injury can be proved to have been caused by someone other than the victim, it may be possible for a compensation claim for personal injury to be brought by the sufferer or their family.
