Head injuries include injuries to the brain and those to other parts of the head, such as the skull or the scalp. A head injury may result in fracturing of the skull, which may or may not lead to injury to the brain. Immediate help should be sought in the event of any potential injury, as head injuries can be very serious. A doctor should be called immediately who will advise on the next step according to the seriousness of the injury. In each of the below cases, the doctor called will advise whether a patient needs emergency medical help:

 A person has been struck on the head with a sharp object or pushed to the ground, though he or she is still conscious
 A person has been hurt in the head following which he has vomited more than once
 A person is confused or dizzy following an injury to the head
 A person is unable to walk
 Severe headache

The injured person should be taken directly to the Emergency department in case of the following:

 Severe  head trauma
- A fall from a greater height than your own for a person
 A person falls down on a hard object or surface
 Confusion, drowsiness, inability to walk and severe headache following an injury to the head

In cases of head injury, the injured person should not be allowed to move the head too much. Roll them on his side without moving the head just in case he wants to vomit. A lot of people believe that if you have suffered a head injury that you should be kept awake and not allowed to sleep. But that is not the truth. After a minor fall, children tend to become more emotionally disturbed and will cry a lot. But as soon as they get a hug from their parents then they become calm. If the child needs to be taken to the hospital, it is okay to let him sleep and build up energy. So keeping a head injury victim awake is not really necessary. Testing a calm child, rather than a wailing one, is much better for the emergency doctor.

The head injury may be more serious than initially expected if the person who was injured seemed nornal right after the accident but then could not be wakened later. Getting a proper evaluation by a qualified doctor is crucial.

Head injuries should be treated very seriously as they can be dangerous occurrences. It is now widely accepted in medical circles that even a minor head injury may result in serious long-term consequences (usually learning or psychological inabilities). Serious head injuries, it must be noted, can lead to either a full recover, a coma or can result in death. In case you are planning to make a head injury compensation claim for yourself or a friend in the UK, all aspects of the life of the injured person should be considered including rehabilitations, whether it is possible to return to normal daily  life, work and education opportunities, in order to help overcome the effect of the injuries. Getting good legal advice from personal injury solicitors or a brain injury solicitor is the right way to go about it.
