Serious & Traumatic Head Injury Solicitors 

You can e-mail us with any enquiries, even if you are not yet sure of whether you want to make a head injury compensation claim, or call us on 0800 0747 644 for more advice - we can take enquiries from family and friends, especially if the victim is still in recovery.

Causes of Head Injuries

There's an endless list of causes behind head injury compensation claims, and as mentioned incidents can occur in the workplace, in public and anywhere where a third party's negligence puts you at risk.

Falling objects present a risk of fractured skulls and blunt force trauma; injuries can be sustained during an individual's own fall from height; poorly maintained equipment or a lack of workplace training can also raise the level of risk.

Not all head injury cases will involve long-term brain damage, and not all brain injuries are of the same severity, but where there is lasting damage or visible disfigurement, we can make sure you get the compensation that takes into account the permanent effects of your injury.

Are Head Injuries Always Visible?

Traumatic head injuries often involve visible symptoms - bruising and swelling of soft tissue, deformity of the skull and other structures on the face and head, or lasting effects like muscular paralysis.

However, not all traumatic head injury is immediately visible, and if you are in an incident like a car crash where you experience rapid deceleration, you may suffer brain damage due to concussion, or damage to the nerves in your neck and head.

Open wounds are visually more alarming but can range in severity, and if you think a past head injury may have left more lasting damage than was first diagnosed, it's important to start a head injury claim as soon as possible.

What Compensation Will I Receive?

If your head injury claim is successful, your legal costs will be paid by your opponent. Any legal costs not covered by your opponent will be deducted from the compensation awarded to you. Grieves Solicitors offer legal services for head injury compensation claims on a no-win, no-fee basis.

The precise sum will depend on the nature of the injury sustained, and typically larger amounts will be paid for permanent injuries or significant lifestyle changes, such as being unable to return to work.

You may be awarded a sum that combines multiple elements, for example, loss of earnings, lost welfare and benefits, any medical costs you have incurred, and long-term care costs during your recovery or for the future.

Upfront and Interim Payments

When you suffer a severe head injury, the loss of earnings and start of medical/care costs can be immediate - so it's crucial that you get upfront and interim payments of compensation where possible.

However, because of the complexities of head injury claims and related brain damage claims, it can take a long time for a final decision to be made about who was responsible and the level of any compensation to be paid.

If the responsible party has admitted that they were at fault, it can be much easier to secure an upfront compensation payment even before the case has been finalised - helping to cover the immediate costs of any treatment and care you may need, and loss of earnings in the short term.
