How can we help?
At Stephensons, we understand the serious and often life-changing effects that a skull fracture can have on an individual and their loved ones. As one of the more severe types of head injury, a skull fracture may result in long-term physical, emotional and financial consequences.

Our experienced personal injury solicitors are here to help guide you through the legal process and secure the financial support you need to aid in recovery and rehabilitation.
A skull fracture is a break in one or more of the bones that make up the skull. These injuries typically occur as a result of significant trauma to the head and are frequently seen following incidents such as road traffic accidents, physical assaults, workplace accidents, sports injuries, or falls from height. There are several types of skull fractures, including:

We are here to help you access the compensation and support you need to move forward.
The amount of compensation you may receive depends on several factors, including the severity of the fracture, whether there are lasting symptoms or brain damage, and the financial impact on your life. Compensation can range from several thousand pounds to six-figure sums for particularly serious cases.
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the injury to start a claim for personal injury compensation. This time limit may be extended in certain circumstances, such as if the injured person is under 18 or lacks mental capacity. It can also be less than 3 years in certain circumstances so it is important that you seek legal advice without delay.
You may still be able to claim compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. This is known as contributory negligence, and in such cases, your compensation may be reduced based on the level of responsibility attributed to you.
Most personal injury claims are settled out of court through negotiation. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to represent you in court to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
The length of time it takes to resolve a skull fracture claim can vary depending on the complexity of the case and whether liability is admitted. Some claims may settle in a few months, while others involving long-term medical issues may take longer.
At Stephensons, we are committed to supporting you through every stage of the claims process with expert legal advice and compassionate care. Contact us today to find out how we can assist you with your skull fracture injury claim.
