To speak to a specialist lawyer please call 0800 61 66 81.
Open Head Injury
If the force that hits a person's head is great enough, the skull can fracture. When this happens, the person is described as having an "open head injury". This terminology is referring to the condition of the skull and not the brain.
Closed head injury
When a person receives an impact to the head from an outside force, but the skull does not fracture or displace this condition is termed a "closed head injury". Again, this refers to the condition of the skull and not the brain.

What our clients say about us...
"After my car crash, my injuries were such that I was not able to return to my job and I was left with no source of income. I was referred by a friend to the Serious Injury Law Practice. After my initial consultation, I not only understood what my rights were, but understood how you could help me as I was unable to work. I am so thankful that I took time to choose a specialist law practice to work on my behalf, and dread to think what my situation might have been if I had selected the wrong practice." Mr E Jackson, Sale
