Specialist brain injury solicitors, and member of the Brain Injury Group, Leigh Day has launched a new infographic to highlight the different causes and types of brain injury. It is hoped that by increasing understanding of its causes and symptoms, it will help people feel better equipped to talk to their GP about it. This is primary call to action for this year’s Action for Brain Injury Week as poor understanding of the signs and symptoms mean that there may be many cases going undiagnosed and untreated.
Amongst the findings, the graphic includes a map that illustrates the number of road traffic accidents by region, a leading cause of head injury. This shows that Great Manchester, West Yorkshire and London are producing the highest number of people involved in serious road traffic related accident in the UK. Together they amounted to almost a 30% increase in this type of injury since June 2012.
