    How Do Serious Head Injuries Occur?

    Head injuries can have devastating consequences, potentially resulting in long-term disabilities or fatalities. Unfortunately, serious head injuries can occur in all manner of ways. Our head injury solicitors have dealt with all manner of unusual and complex cases over the years, so your claim will be in safe hands – no matter how the injury occurred.

    Some of the most common causes of serious head injuries include:

    • Road accidents: In road traffic accidents, the head can sustain various types of injuries, including concussions, contusions, skull fractures, intracranial hemorrhages, and diffuse axonal injuries. These injuries can range from mild to severe.
    • Accidents at work: Blows to the head, falls, collision, fall, being struck by falling objects, and vehicle accidents can all result in head injuries at work, such as concussions and hemorrhages. In the construction industry, head injuries often occur due to falling debris, structure collapses, and machinery malfunctions.
    • Sports-related injuries: Impacts from doing high-intensity sporting activities, such as football and rugby, can result in head injuries.
    • Medical negligence: These include surgical errors during brain procedures, misdiagnosis or delayed treatment of conditions like strokes or infections, and errors in anesthesia administration that deprive the brain of oxygen.
    • Assault: Direct knocks or lacerations to the head as a result of assault can cause injuries that range from mild to severe. Victims of assault are also likely to struggle with emotional trauma, which you are entitled to claim compensation for.

    No matter where the accident took place – be it on the road or in your workplace – if it wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to compensation.

    How Do You Make a Head Injury Claim?

    The process of making a head injury claim with our personal injury lawyers really is simple:

    1. It’s essential to seek medical attention straight away to assess the severity of the head injury, as even seemingly mild symptoms can indicate more severe underlying damage. Medical records can also be used to help win your case and secure the compensation you deserve.
    2. Our head injury solicitors will discuss the details of your case with you, gaining an understanding of what took place and how your life has been affected by your injury.
    3. Once we understand the specifics of your case, we will be able to estimate how much compensation you’re likely to be entitled to.
    4. Should you decide to go ahead, our head injury claims solicitors will begin working on your case, keeping you up to date on its progress regularly.
    5. If your case is successful, you will be issued with compensation – and if it isn’t, you won’t owe us a penny.

    Get in touch with head injury solicitors either by phone or via our website contact form.

    What Does Compensation Cover?

    Though it’s not possible to put a precise number on how much compensation you may be entitled to without understanding the specifics of your case, it is important to understand what the compensation should cover.

    The value of your compensation will depend on the severity of your injuries and their lasting effects on your life. If your brain was affected, this could secure you more compensation, depending on the severity.

    Your compensation may be able to cover things like:

    • Treatment costs and travel expenses to attend appointments
    • The cost of ongoing care for your injury
    • Loss of earnings due to time off work
    • Potential effects on your future earning potential and ability to do your job

    Our head injury solicitors understand just how life-changing head injuries can be, which is why we offer a straightforward, hassle-free compensation service. If your case is unsuccessful, you won’t have to pay a penny – it’s that simple.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much compensation could I get for a head injury?

    This will vary depending on the severity of injuries and the manner in which they occurred: every claim is different, so it’s important to speak to experienced solicitors for an accurate figure.

    Can I speak to a head injury lawyer on a family member’s behalf?

    Yes, you can speak to us and make a claim on behalf of a loved one if they’ve been seriously injured or lost their life as a result of an injury.

    Are there any time limits for head injury claims?

    There are time limits if you are making the claim yourself, though these are waived if you’re making the claim on behalf of a loved one who is unable to make decisions themselves. Most of the time, the limit is three years, though this isn’t always the case – our team can advise on time limits for your individual claim.
