Nervous System Injury Compensation
Types of Nervous System Injuries
Click on the links below for more detailed information regarding specific types of injuries that can affect the nervous system, together with guidance around compensation for each category of injury.
Concussion
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow or jolt to the head, leading to temporary brain function disruption
Nerve Compression
Individuals who sustain nerve compression syndrome may experience chronic pain, persistent numbness, and muscle weakness, leading to reduced mobility.
Peripheral Nerve Damage
Peripheral nerve damage, also known as peripheral neuropathy, involves injury to the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord.
Spinal Cord Injury
A spinal cord injury (SCI) is an injury where the spinal cord is damaged, resulting in the cord’s normal functions becoming disrupted.
Stroke
Following a stroke, ongoing health problems can include physical disabilities such as paralysis, muscle weakness, and difficulty with coordination.
Traumatic Brain Injury
Unlike acquired brain injury, traumatic brain injuries are caused by external factors only such as a physical assault, a traffic collision, or a strike to the head.
Cranial Nerve Damage
Common implications of cranial nerve damage include impaired sensory functions such as vision, hearing, or smell.
Epilepsy
People with epilepsy may face severe ongoing health issues, including an increased risk of seizures, which can cause injuries or accidents.
Heavy Metal Poisoning
Heavy metal poisoning can lead to serious, long-term health consequences, including neurological damage causing cognitive impairment.
