When Is It Possible To Claim Compensation For A Head injury?
You can claim compensation for a head injury if the injury results from another party’s negligence or breach of duty. This typically applies to accidents at work, road traffic collisions, or incidents on someone else’s property when the defendant has caused your injury through negligence.
Claims depend on proving liability, which means showing that another person or organisation owed you a duty of care and failed it, causing your injury. The injury must be medically diagnosed and you should report it promptly. Examples include concussion, skull fractures, or brain trauma linked to the accident.
To start a head injury claim, evidence such as medical reports, witness statements, and accident records strengthen your case. Neglect in securing safe premises or careless driving often supports claims for head injury compensation.

You must also consider any specific deadlines that apply, depending on the circumstances or case type, to ensure your claim remains valid.
