How can we help?
Experiencing a serious head injury can be life-altering, not just physically and emotionally, but financially too. If a head injury prevents you from returning to work, the impact on your livelihood and future earning potential can be significant. At Stephensons, we understand how difficult this situation can be, and we are committed to helping you pursue the compensation you may rightfully deserve. Our personal injury specialists have extensive experience in supporting individuals and families following traumatic head injuries, ensuring they receive the legal guidance and support they need throughout this challenging period.
A head injury that results in the inability to return to work refers to trauma affecting the brain that causes long-term or permanent cognitive, physical or psychological impairments. These injuries can stem from road traffic accidents, workplace incidents, slips and falls, assaults, or sporting accidents. The severity of such injuries range from moderate concussions to traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), which may cause memory loss, reduced motor function, speech difficulties, and behavioural or emotional changes.
In many cases, individuals suffering from these types of injuries may no longer be able to perform their original job duties, or any form of employment, due to ongoing symptoms and limitations. This loss of income, combined with potential care costs and medical treatments, can place a significant financial strain on both the injured person and their family.
Yes, you may be entitled to claim compensation if you have sustained a head injury that has permanently or long-term impaired your ability to work, and another party was at fault for the accident. Compensation in these cases is intended to cover not just the pain and suffering associated with the injury, but also the financial implications, including:
