How can we help?
Suffering a head injury can have long-lasting and life-changing effects. One of the most serious potential outcomes of a traumatic brain injury is the development of epilepsy or recurrent seizures. These neurological conditions can significantly disrupt a person’s quality of life, ability to work, and daily independence. If your head injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to claim compensation. At Stephensons, our expert personal injury solicitors have extensive experience supporting clients in pursuing head injury claims, including those involving epilepsy and seizures.
A head injury that results in epilepsy or seizures typically involves damage to the brain caused by a traumatic event, such as a road traffic accident, a fall from height, an assault, or an accident at work. When the brain sustains trauma, it can lead to the development of post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE), a form of epilepsy that occurs after a traumatic brain injury. Seizures may begin shortly after the injury or may not occur until several months or even years later.
Epileptic seizures can vary in severity and frequency, and may involve convulsions, loss of consciousness, confusion, or unusual behaviour. The condition often requires long-term medical treatment and can significantly impair day-to-day activities, employment prospects, and mental wellbeing.
Yes, if your head injury was caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another party, you may be able to claim compensation. This could include situations such as a car accident caused by another driver, an accident at work due to unsafe practices, a fall in a public place due to poor maintenance or being assaulted
Compensation for head injuries resulting in epilepsy or seizures can cover a wide range of losses, including:
Every case is unique, and the amount of compensation awarded will depend on the severity of the injury, the impact on the individual’s life, and the extent of ongoing care or treatment required.

You may have a valid claim if your head injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, such as in a car accident, fall, assault or workplace incident and you have developed epilepsy or seizures as a result. Our solicitors can assess your circumstances in a free initial consultation.
The amount of compensation depends on the severity and long-term impact of your condition. Factors such as your ability to work, need for care, and the emotional and physical effects of epilepsy are all considered when calculating damages.
Each case is different. Straightforward cases may settle within a few months, whereas more complex claims involving significant injury and long-term care needs may take longer. We will keep you informed at every stage of the process.
Evidence may include medical reports, witness statements, accident reports, any footage (if available) and documentation of your financial losses. We will help gather this as part of building your case.
