Skull fractures and head injuries

Skull fractures and head injuries require a specialised legal process to be undertaken to protect you or your loved one.

For free legal advice relating to skull fractures or head injuries call 0800 61 66 81 or use the contact details at the top left of this page.

Skull fractures which we regularly deal with fall into four main categories:

Linear skull fractures

This is the most common type of skull fracture. In a linear fracture, there is a break in the bone, but the bone is not moved.

Depressed skull fractures

This type of fracture may be seen with or without a cut in the scalp. In this fracture, part of the skull is actually sunken in from the trauma. This type of skull fracture may require surgical intervention, depending on the severity.

Diastatic skull fractures

These are fractures that occur along the suture lines in the skull. The sutures are the areas between the bones in the head that fuse during childhood.

Basilar skull fracture

This is the most serious type of skull fracture, and involves a break in the bone at the base of the skull and usually requires close observation in hospital.

What our clients say about us...

"In 2002, our family suffered a devastating blow when my husband was injured in a car crash. Not only did he endure a fracture in his neck, he later suffered a coma, brain damage, and other physical, mental and emotional problems. You immediately recognised that my husband's problems were more complicated than the hospital had told us and went through the medical records with great care. You handled every step with integrity, kindness and resolve. We will live the rest of our lives with the assurance that our financial needs will be met. Thanks to you, my husband and I are doing our best to move on with our lives." Mrs J Collinson, Crawley
