#ABIweek - life re-written after a brain injury

At RWK Goodman we act for a client who was 15 y old when she was struck by a van and suffered a severe brain injury, and for her parents as secondary victims. The whole family’s lives have had to be re-written.

In the UK, a person is hospitalised due to a brain injury #Every90Seconds .

As #ABIWeek draws to a close, we have been raising awareness of this often hidden and life changing injury. bit.ly/braininjurygui… & last week in the annual #HatsforHeadway Headway - the brain injury association Thompsons Solicitors WSW

(1/2) In partnership with SameYou, we funded the creation of an online course developed at The University of Edinburgh which equips registered nurses working in neurological rehabilitation to respond more effectively to the impacts of neurological conditions.
