Head Injury Compensation Calculator

Calculating the compensation for head and brain injuries ranges a great deal. This is due to the fact that head and brain injuries vary a great deal in severity, from a minor concussion with symptoms that last only a few hours, to a serious brain injury with life-altering effects. At Jefferies, we deal with head injury claims of all kinds, helping individuals and their loved ones access compensation to help them deal with their injury and return to as normal a life as possible.

TYPES OF HEAD INJURY

A compensation claim may include the following:

• Facial injury
• Brain injury

Closed and open head injuries

Head injuries usually fall into one of two categories: closed and open.

Closed head injuries are the most common kind of head injury. With a closed head injury, the bones of the skull are not affected and there is no visible wound. However, this can lead to concussion or cause bleeding to the brain.

An open head injury occurs when the skull is fractured and brain tissue is damaged. Open head injuries are often the result of a blow to the head.
