Abstract

Trauma as a general rule carries medicolegal implication. Head injury adds complexity to the problem as it adversely affects the complete evaluation of trauma until some time has elapsed after a particular injury. The often ill-defined clinical manifestation, the impact of claim settlements, and malingering further add to the problem of fair decision.
