Common Causes of Head Injuries

Head injuries are more common than people think. They can happen at work, on the road, in public places, or even during sports. Here are some of the most frequent causes we see:

  • Road traffic accidents – Crashes involving cars, motorbikes, or bicycles are one of the biggest causes of head injuries. Even with helmets and seatbelts, the head is vulnerable to sudden impact.

  • Slips, trips, and falls – A wet floor in a supermarket, uneven pavement, or poor lighting in stairways can all cause falls, leading to serious head injuries.

  • Workplace accidents – Falling objects, unsafe ladders, or a lack of protective equipment can result in head trauma. Construction, warehouses, and factories are especially risky.

  • Sports injuries – Football, rugby, boxing, cycling, and horse riding can all cause concussions or more severe head injuries. Poor supervision or unsafe facilities may increase the risk.

  • Medical negligence – Sometimes doctors fail to diagnose a concussion or brain injury properly. A delay in treatment can make things worse, leading to more serious and lasting damage.

Every situation is different, but if someone else was at fault, you could have the right to claim.

Why Make a Head Injury Claim

Many people hesitate to make a claim. They worry it’s greedy or stressful. But here’s the truth: a claim isn’t just about money—it’s about support.

Head injuries often come with hidden costs:

  • You may need regular medical care, scans, or surgery.
  • You might be unable to work, losing out on wages.
  • You could need help with daily tasks at home.
  • In serious cases, you may need long-term care or home adjustments.

Compensation helps cover these costs so you can focus on recovery. It also holds those at fault accountable, making places safer for others.

No Win, No Fee Promise

Legal costs can feel scary. That’s why we make things simple with our no-win, no-fee promise.

Here’s how it works:

  • You don’t pay anything up front.
  • If your case doesn’t win, you don’t pay us at all.
  • If you do win, we take a small, agreed percentage from your compensation.

This way, you can claim with confidence, knowing you won’t be left out of pocket.

How Much Compensation Could You Get?

Every head injury is unique, and the amount of compensation depends on how badly you were affected. Here’s a guide to what you could expect, based on legal guidelines:

Injury Type Possible Compensation
Minor head injury with full recovery Up to about £10,700
Head injury with ongoing headaches £12,900 – £24,950
Moderate brain damage (memory loss, reduced focus) £29,380 – £46,980
Severe brain injury, permanent disability £46,980 – £265,000+
Compensation can also cover:
  • Medical bills and private treatment
  • Rehabilitation and therapy
  • Loss of earnings and future income
  • Travel costs for hospital visits
  • Home care and adaptations (like stairlifts or ramps)
  • Loss of enjoyment of life or hobbies

We’ll always fight to make sure you get the maximum amount possible.

Time Limits: Don’t Wait

In most cases, you have 3 years from the date of the accident to make a claim. After this, you may lose your chance.

But there are exceptions:

  • For children, the 3-year period only starts on their 18th birthday.
  • For those who can’t make a claim themselves (for example, due to brain damage), the time limit may be paused until someone acts on their behalf.

Starting early means your case is stronger, as evidence and witness details are easier to gather.

Making a Claim for Someone Else

Sadly, many head injury victims are too unwell to make a claim themselves. If you’re a parent, family member, or carer, you can act as their “litigation friend.”

This means you handle the claim on their behalf, ensuring they get the support they need. Whether it’s for a child with a head injury or an adult unable to act, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
