How can we help?
Suffering a head injury due to a falling object can be both physically and emotionally traumatic, often with lasting consequences. Whether the accident occurred in the workplace, in a public space, or on a construction site, you may be entitled to compensation if the incident resulted from someone else’s negligence. At Stephensons, our personal injury solicitors have significant experience in pursuing head injury from falling object claims, helping victims secure the support and compensation they need to aid recovery and rebuild their lives.
A head injury from a falling object occurs when a person is struck on the head by something that has fallen or been dropped from a height. These incidents can happen in various environments, commonly in workplaces such as warehouses, construction sites, or industrial settings, but also in public spaces like shops or schools. The impact can range from minor cuts and bruises to serious and life-changing injuries, including concussions, skull fractures, brain damage, or long-term cognitive impairment.
Such injuries are frequently the result of inadequate safety measures, poor maintenance, or breaches of health and safety regulations. Employers, site managers, and property owners have a duty of care to ensure that environments are safe and any risks of falling objects are appropriately managed.
Yes, if the injury was caused by negligence or a breach of responsibility by another party, such as an employer, property owner, or contractor, you may be eligible to make a head injury from falling object claim. Compensation can cover a range of losses, including:
It’s important to seek legal advice as soon as possible, as there are strict time limits for making a personal injury claim – typically three years from the date of the accident or the date you became aware of your injury. There are some exceptions to this so you should seek advice without delay.

The amount of compensation depends on several factors including the severity of the injury, the impact on your life, and any financial losses you’ve incurred. Minor head injuries may result in claims ranging from a few thousand pounds, while severe brain injuries could lead to compensation in excess of £250,000 or more.
To support your claim, it is helpful to provide medical reports, witness statements, accident reports, photographic evidence of the scene or object, and any records of financial losses such as payslips or receipts for treatment costs.
If your injury occurred in the workplace, your employer has a duty under health and safety legislation to protect you. You may still be able to claim even if you are concerned about job security – employers are legally prohibited from dismissing staff for making a legitimate personal injury claim.
Yes, if a family member or loved one has suffered a serious head injury and is unable to bring a claim themselves, you may be able to act on their behalf as a ‘litigation friend’. Our solicitors can explain this process in more detail.
