How can we help?
Experiencing a skull fracture brain injury can be devastating, with severe consequences affecting both the injured party and their loved ones. At Stephensons, our specialist medical negligence solicitors understand the immense emotional and physical strain caused by these injuries, especially when they result from another person's negligence or wrongdoing. If you or a loved one have suffered a skull fracture brain injury, our dedicated and experienced team are committed to assisting you in securing the compensation and justice you deserve.
A skull fracture is a break or crack in the skull bone, which can result from trauma like falls, vehicle accidents, workplace incidents, or medical mistakes during treatment. Depending on the severity and location of the fracture, these injuries can lead to serious complications, including traumatic brain injuries (TBI), internal bleeding, nerve damage, cognitive impairment and even permanent disability.
Symptoms of a skull fracture brain injury might include dizziness, persistent headaches, confusion, changes in personality or behaviour, loss of balance, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, seizures, and loss of consciousness. Immediate medical attention and diagnosis is essential to minimise long-term consequences.
If your injury was caused or exacerbated by someone else's negligence, you may be eligible to claim compensation. Situations that commonly lead to skull fracture brain injury claims include:
Compensation typically covers medical treatment and rehabilitation costs, lost earnings, ongoing care requirements, necessary adaptations to your home, and compensation for pain, suffering, and emotional trauma caused by the injury.

How long do I have to make a claim?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of injury or the date you became aware that the injury was caused by negligence to claim compensation. Exceptions apply, so it's vital to seek advice promptly.
How much compensation will I get for a skull fracture brain injury?
The amount of compensation varies significantly depending on the severity of your injuries, long-term consequences, loss of income, and expenses. Our solicitors will provide tailored advice based on your unique circumstances.
How long does the claim process typically take?
Complex brain injury claims may take longer to settle, often several years. However, we strive to secure interim payments whenever appropriate to support you financially throughout the process.
Will I have to attend court?
Most skull fracture brain injury claims settle outside of court through negotiation. However, if court proceedings become necessary, our skilled solicitors will support and represent you at every stage.
