Some symptoms of a minor head injury may include a headache, a raised or swollen area from a bump or bruise, nausea or blurred vision, to note just a few.

Whereas, moderate to severe head injuries (which require immediate medical attention), may include any of the symptoms mentioned above plus loss of consciousness, severe headache, loss of short-term memory, behaviour changes and more.

Each year 1.4 million people visit A&E in England and Wales with a head injury. Approximately 20% of these visits include evidence of brain damage.

Head injuries can occur from a variety of different circumstances, from accidents on the road to injuries in the workplace. Some of the cases we have dealt with involving head injuries include:

• Workplace accidents

• Road traffic accidents

• Criminal injuries

When someone suffers a serious head injury, they may lack the mental capacity to make a head injury compensation claim on their own.

In such circumstances, it is possible, and perfectly normal for a close family member or friend to act on their behalf to ensure the compensation they deserve can be recovered.

If you are looking to claim on behalf of a family member or friend, we understand the challenges you may be facing and our expert team can help. Talk to one of our specialist solicitors today for a free consultation.

In most cases, the time limit for starting Court proceedings for a head injury claim is three years from the date of the injury. This is known as the ‘limitation date’.

To find out about the precise limitation period in the case you are concerned with, professional legal advice should be sought from a firm of solicitors with extensive experience in serious personal injury claims.

Our team ensure the head injury compensation you receive reflects your overall situation and will help you to build a more comfortable and financially secure future.

A number of factors are taken into consideration when calculating head injury compensation such as the severity of the injury and the impact it will have on you, as well as any costs associated with your injuries. For example, future loss of earnings and expenses occurred as a result of the injury will be taken into account.

The amount of compensation you will receive will be individual to your situation. To talk to us about your individual situation call us on 0330 058 0377 or fill out the form below and we will be able to provide you with more information.

If you’ve suffered a serious head injury that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation for your injuries and suffering.

We are happy to operate on a ‘No Win, No Fee Basis’, meaning that you won’t pay us anything in the event that your claim is unsuccessful, ensuring you are risk free.
