Skull or scalp, the brain and other parts of the head are all parts of the head which can be damaged as a result of an head injury. An injury to the brain may or may not occur from a head injury, especially as the injury can result in the fracturing of the skull. Head injury is extremely serious and immediate medical help should be called for in case of a potential injury. 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 person falls from a greater height than his own
 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. In case the victim wants to be sick, roll them onto their side withouth moving he head. 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. Children are emotionally more disturbed after a minor fall and they cry a lot. But as soon as they get a hug from their parents then they become calm. It is okay to let the child sleep whilst been taken to the hospital. This way, they are building up energy. So it is not necessary to keep a head injury victim awake. Testing a calm child is much better for the emergency doctor, rather than a wailing one.

Straight after the accident a person may appear ok, but if they cannot be wakened later, then their injury is more serious than initially thought. A thorough check up by a qualified doctor is a must.

Head injuries are extremely serious occurrences and should be treated as such. In medical circles, it is now widely accepted, that even a minor injury to the head can result in long term serious consequences (usually learning or psychological inabilities). It must be noted that a serious head injury may lead to full recovery or coma or even 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.
