Head Injury and Brain Injury at Work - Compensation Claims

Claim compensation for head injury or brain injury at work

IM have acted for a large number of clients who have suffered a head injury during the course of their employment, and have claimed compensation as a result. Some head injuries may result in concussion and headaches. The more severe injuries can result in brain damage whether moderate or severe although the effects of brain damage can vary a great deal.

Head injury in the workplace may result from falls, particularly from height, from inadequate personal protective equipment, being struck by falling objects or even as a result of defective equipment for example as a result of a scaffolding collapse.

Case studies: brain injury and head injury compensation

Over £2million was recovered for a gentleman who was struck on the head by a steel stanchion from some racking at his place of work. He suffered a severe brain injury and required 24 hour care. A case manager was employed to recruit the care workers, to supervise them and to liaise with treating physiotherapists and speech and language therapists.

A man who was knocked unconscious as a result of an accident at work received £40,000 by way of compensation from his employers. He was struck by a jig on the shoulder and head.
