Head injuries of any kind are serious. If you are lucky a concussion or graze will last a few days to a few weeks, but what do you do if you incur a head injury that leaves you with some or all of the following issues:
• Emotional
• Cognitive
• Behavioural
• Physical
You could be eligible for head injury compensation.
In cases were there are more serious and long lasting effects it is imperative individuals seek head injury compensation to ensure they are able to receive the best medical treatment and care after the accident. It is also important to seek compensation as it can help financially support both ongoing care and extended rehabilitation.
It is impossible to say exactly how much an individual will receive, as each case is different, but as a loose guideline, see below:
• Very Severe Brain Damage – up to £250,000
• Moderately Severe Brain Injury – up to £180,000
• Moderate Brain Damage – up to £140,000
• Minor Brain Damage – up to £27,500
These are only a guide though.
In cases where significant on going care is necessary or changes to their home or even living conditions, cases have been known to settle into the millions.
Claiming as a process can be long, but as long as you choose the correct solicitor to represent you, you will feel both supported and informed each step of the way. Look for a solicitor with expertise and experience in this arena.
