How can we help?
Accidents involving faulty or malfunctioning doors and windows can lead to serious head injuries with long-term consequences. Whether it’s an automatic door closing too quickly, a heavy window slamming shut unexpectedly, or poorly maintained fixtures falling without warning, these incidents can cause significant trauma. At Stephensons, we understand the devastating effect a head injury can have on your life and we are here to help you secure the compensation you deserve.
A head injury from a door or window malfunction refers to any trauma sustained to the head due to a mechanical failure, poor installation, or lack of maintenance of a door or window. These types of accidents can occur in shops, supermarkets, offices, schools, hospitals, public transport stations, and even rental properties. Common scenarios include automatic doors closing on individuals, windows falling as they are opened or closed, and manual doors slamming unexpectedly in draughty environments.
Head injuries can range from minor concussions to serious traumatic brain injuries (TBI), with symptoms including headaches, dizziness, memory problems, vision disturbances, and even loss of consciousness. These injuries may require long-term treatment and rehabilitation, affecting your ability to work and your overall quality of life.
If you have suffered a head injury due to a faulty or unsafe door or window, you may be entitled to claim compensation. In order to make a successful claim, it must be proven that another party was negligent—typically a property owner, business, local authority, or employer who failed in their duty to maintain a safe environment.
Claims can be made for:
