How much compensation for fractured skull

How did you fracture your skull and how does that affect your compensation? 

As personal injury specialists we understand that how you fractured your skull can affect the amount of compensation you may receive.

Skull fractures can occur through:  

• Road traffic incidents
• Accidents at work  
• Slips, trips and falls and accidents in public places  
• Any other impact to the head  

Where you fractured your skull will not affect the amount of your compensation provided you can prove that your fracture was:

• As a result of negligence or fault of another party

The third party could be wholly responsible for your head injury or partially responsible.  

The amount you will receive in compensation will depend on what extent you can show that someone else was responsible for your fracture. Our personal injury lawyers are experts in investigating all types of personal injury and workplace claims, however complicated the circumstances behind your fractured skull.

Calculating compensation for a fractured skull

The amount you may receive in compensation for a fractured skull will depend on the severity of the fracture and its impact on you. In the case of a serious skull fracture, the injury can be life changing, life threatening or even fatal.  

Even a relatively mild knock to your head can result in a fractured skull that can have long-term consequences for you or make you more vulnerable to life changing health consequences if you have another head injury.

You can recover damages or compensation for the pain and suffering experienced by you during the injury and any subsequent surgery or treatment. The amount depends on the severity and prognosis.

In addition to these damages, you may be entitled to compensation for money you have lost or paid out because of your injury. For example, the cost of trips to the hospital or for loss of earnings if you did not get paid whilst you were unable to work.  

Depending on the severity and impact of your skull fracture, you may have a compensation claim for long-term loss of earnings.  

Our personal injury and workplace accident lawyers are experts in getting the best medical and other evidence to support your claim. Where you have sustained a complex skull fracture and liability is admitted, we will try to negotiate an interim compensation payment to help you pay for things whilst we negotiate the final compensation to reflect the full extent of the injury.
