Concussion Injury Claims & Compensation

We specialise in helping victims of injury claim the compensation they deserve

Far from being a minor injury, a concussion can be scary. Moreover, concussion injuries can have long term effects on a victim’s physical and mental health. A concussion is classed as a mild form of traumatic brain injury and happens when a sudden impact, such as from a fall or jolt, shakes the brain around inside the skull and interrupts normal brain function – similar to lights flickering in a storm.

The first 24 hours after an injury are the most critical. Therefore, you should immediately seek medical advice if you believe you may have a concussion. You should also seek medical advice if there is blood or clear fluid leaking from your nose or ears (which can indicate a fractured skull), or if you experience any of the symptoms listed below.

Effects of concussion can include:

  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Impaired eyesight, including light sensitivity
  • A feeling of dizziness or being off-balance
  • Mood swings, tiredness, and irritability
  • Lack of concentration
  • Anxiety

These effects may disappear in a few hours, but can continue for days or even weeks, depending on the severity of the concussion and the individual patient. Each can have an impact on a person’s ability to operate in their daily life, from working or studying as efficiently as usual to interacting with family and loved ones and performing necessary everyday tasks like driving or use public transport with confidence.

What is a Concussion Injury Claim?

A concussion compensation claim can be pursued, if the cause of the concussion could have been avoided if the responsible party had taken reasonable care.

Examples include suffering a concussion as the passenger or driver in a road traffic accident which was not your fault, a child getting knocked off their bicycle, having a shelf at work collapse above your head, hitting your head after falling on a slippery floor, and a sporting injury to the head.

In each of these are situations, The Compensation Experts may be able to help you claim damages.

As the claimant, it is your duty to prove that you were injured and demonstrate your injury was caused by another person’s negligence or error. Your medical records will help, and your personal injury lawyer may also enlist the support of an independent medical expert to strengthen your case, and determine how much compensation for concussion you can claim. Proving another person’s negligence is not always straightforward but it is easier the earlier you seek legal representation.

Calculating How Much Compensation for Concussion

Working out how much compensation for concussion you may receive is related to the severity of your injury and the impact it has had on your life. A claim will consider whether you have lost money due to paying for treatment or been unable to work. Even if you were partially responsible for your accident, you could still claim damages which will be adjusted proportionally. If you have a No Win No Fee* agreement, your legal fees will be deducted from the compensation you are awarded. *conditions apply
