How can we help?
At Stephensons, we understand the devastating impact a head injury can have on every aspect of your life. If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury due to a lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) or a safety helmet, you may be entitled to compensation. Our experienced personal injury solicitors are here to support you in making a claim, holding those responsible accountable, and securing the financial support you need to aid your recovery.
Head injuries are among the most serious types of injuries that can occur in the workplace, on a construction site, or in any environment where head protection is required. Personal protective equipment, specifically safety helmets, is legally mandated in many work settings to minimise the risk of serious head trauma. When an employer fails to provide adequate PPE, or does not enforce its use, employees are exposed to preventable dangers.
Injuries sustained in such circumstances can range from minor concussions to life-changing brain injuries. These injuries may result in long-term medical treatment, an inability to work, or even permanent disability. Failing to provide or enforce the use of safety helmets is not just negligent—it can be life-altering for the injured person and their family.
Yes, if you have sustained a head injury due to an employer, contractor, or other responsible party failing to provide or ensure the use of appropriate PPE such as a safety helmet, you may be eligible to claim compensation. Employers in the UK have a legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 to protect employees by providing appropriate safety equipment and ensuring it is used correctly.
To make a successful claim, we will need to prove that your injury was caused due to the negligence of another party, such as an employer who failed to provide a helmet or did not enforce PPE usage policies. Our legal team will gather evidence, including incident reports, witness statements, medical records, and any relevant health and safety documentation to support your claim.

In most personal injury cases, you have three years from the date of the accident, or from the date of knowledge of your injury, to begin a compensation claim. However, there are exceptions, such as cases involving children or individuals lacking mental capacity. It's best to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
