Head Injury Claims


Possible Head Injury Compensation Payout £3,500 - £250,000

The range of head injury can be from something as mild as a concussion, to the more serious like a fractured skull or brain swelling. Head injuries are usually caused by a blow to the head. Objects striking the head can penetrate the skull and the injury will be obvious immediately. In other cases, there is no penetration of the skull or even the scalp; this injury is known as a closed head injury.

A closed head injury is a classification of a head injury. Head injury is a trauma to the head that results in a skull, brain, or scalp injury. A Closed Head injury is when the injury to the head does not penetrate the skull. Closed head injuries can be the result of many types of accident. Personal injury caused by this type of injury can be due to a faulty product, negligence or a motor vehicle accident. Many instances of closed head injuries cause trauma to the brain. This happens due to the head striking another object with force and the brain undergoes movement within the skull without any exterior visual trauma to the head. Determining the extent of the injury can be difficult due to the appearance of little or no harm done to the skull. But there may be a need for physical, cognitive and emotional treatment.

It is crucial that any type of head injury is diagnosed as quickly as possible. If a head injury remains untreated for too long it may lead to very severe future complications, even result in death. Symptoms of a head injury include:

  • Blurred vision
  • Nausea
  • Memory loss
  • Increased sleepiness

A head injury is most common in the young with Road Traffic Accidents being the main cause, because any head injury resulting in severe brain damage is likely to have a more long term and devastating impact on the young, who would otherwise have had a lifetime of work and independent living ahead of them. Any damage to the brain suffered at any age can have severe life changing consequences for the individual and their family.
