Understanding Your Eligibility to Make Head Injury Compensation Claims
To grasp the concept of being eligible to receive head injury claim compensation, you need to carefully understand the term “Duty of Care”. Yes, it is the one and only legal aspect which can confirm your entitlement to claim compensation for a head injury from the opposing party. So, what is it exactly?
Simply put, a duty of care is the legal responsibility of every citizen and organisation to carry out actions with a reasonable degree of care which could harm others. For example, medical practitioners owe a duty of care to all their patients, factories owe a duty of care to all their workers. Even, law enforcement agencies owe a duty of care to their suspects as well as captives.
In case, this duty of care gets violated by someone resulting in an injury to another person, then the injured person is entitled to make a compensation claim for a head injury.
Evidence Required to Prove Your Head Injury
Following is a list of evidence that you should possess to prove your duty of care was violated by an opposing party which led to your head injury:
- Photographs or camera recordings of the incident
- Contact details of all witnesses
- Medical records for your head injury
- Any record of a reported complaint about the incident
- Invoices, receipts and bank statements to demonstrate expenses incurred on your head injury.
Examples of Head Injury Claims UK
A head injury could take place whether you are at work, in a shopping centre, at a hospital, at a restaurant, at a playground, or at a gym. Let us take a look at some of the frequently reported head injury compensation claims in England and Wales:
1) Workplace Accidents
A head Injury at work claim is possible in situations like getting struck from a collapsing structure or falling into an unmarked trench at a construction site, tripping from a stationary object placed in the walkway, an explosion at a chemical factory causing head trauma, contact with a moving equipment like a rotating crane’s hook, falling from stairs or an elevated place in an office. If you have been a part of any such incident, you could be entitled to compensation for head injury at work and can claim all your lost wages, future earnings and medical bills.
2) Road Accidents
Road accidents like a pedestrian getting hit by a vehicle, a motorcyclist or a cyclist getting struck by a car, a roadside stationary vehicle getting hit by a negligent driver, resulting in a head injury are some solid examples where you can make a head injury accident claim.
3) Public Space Accidents
A head injury caused by an accident in a public space such as a collision with an object, falling from a broken bench at a park, getting struck by a falling signboard, slipping on an uncleaned spill, falling off a faulty treadmill at a gym are all genuine cases which could make you entitled to claim compensation for a head injury.
4) Physical Assault
All physical assault cases like getting punched, kicked, struck by an object, head slammed on a wall or a surface make you eligible to initiate a claim for a head injury.
5) Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractices such as wrong diagnosis of a minor head injury condition resulting in a severe head injury or errors during a head injury treatment. Similarly, providing a wrong medicine prescription or improperly discharging a head injury patient. All such cases make you entitled to claim compensation for a head injury.

How Much Payout Can I Get for a Head Injury?
The compensation payout for a head injury can vary. If the head injury has a significant impact on your lifestyle, your chances to get greater compensation are more likely.
The effect of a head injury on a person’s life is gauged as to how much damage that person has suffered. This damage can be of two types, general damage and special damage. General damage includes the loss of amenity, pain, and suffering of a victim. Whereas the special damage takes into consideration all the financial losses a victim suffers along with any care needs due to their head injury.
