Hi Cheer Girl,
I am glad that you are able to look on the bright side and that you are cheerful about the troubles that you are going through. That is a very good attitude but it does not mean that you shouldn't get compensation for what has happened.
You definitely are entitled to compensation and just because your injuries are neurological that does not mean that you won't be compensated or that it will be impossible for someone to adequately assess this. This is a specialist area and you need a specialist lawyer to deal with it.
I also suffered neurological damage due to a rear-end collision and I fully intend to be compensated for it, although so far it has been a long process. Nevertheless, you absolutely must get what you are due, so make sure that someone is dealing with it who knows what they are doing. Most solicitors rely on medical evidence and most doctors do not know this specialist field. You have to find someone who does, or you will have a hard time.
Incidentally, a change of voice is not an unknown neurological condition. My aunt knows someone whose voice developed a foreign accent. Just because it is strange does not mean that it will be impossible to obtain compensation.
Feel free to drop me an email if you want to discuss anything further.
Good luck.
Concussed Scientist

Everyone just starts laughing and i mix up my words and it's just a joke...
the other driver has accepted liability, I am wondering about compensation. I have to go see a doctor GP to be looked at so he can report to the court, but as my symptoms are mainly of a neurological nature, do the courts take that into consideration? My MRIs are clear, but I've changed...
How do they investigate that forensically and then decide the level of comp?
I emailed the firm yesterday about this issue. I am loathe to speak to anyone with my voice... 
I would love to hear from anyone with similar experiences.... |
