What Is A Head Injury Claim?
A head injury claim enables you to seek compensation if you’ve sustained a head injury because another party, such as an employer or driver, acted negligently. You might be entitled to claim if your injury resulted from a road accident on the A6, a fall in a Manchester shopping centre, or inadequate safety measures at a workplace. Personal Injury Solicitors Manchester assist with claims involving traumatic brain injury, concussion, or more minor head wounds, helping you gather evidence such as medical records from hospitals like Manchester Royal Infirmary.
You can start a personal injury claim for pain, suffering, lost income, and recovery costs. Our solicitors will assess your eligibility, liaise with medical experts, quantify your claim’s value, and manage every stage from paperwork to negotiations, relieving you of complex legal processes.
To find out if you could be entitled to start a head injury claim, please feel free to call today.
Examples of Accidents That Could Result In A Head Injury Claim
Examples of accidents that can result in a head injury claim include a wide range of scenarios where another party’s negligence or a breach of duty causes you harm. Knowing when you could be entitled to claim compensation helps clarify your legal position.
Road traffic accidents: In incidents on busy routes like the M60 or Deansgate, passengers or drivers often suffer head trauma if another motorist is at fault, with whiplash or concussion being common injuries.
Workplace accidents: In offices, warehouses, or construction sites across Manchester, unguarded machinery, falling objects, or slips can cause severe head injuries if employers neglect safety obligations, breaching health and safety law such as the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
Public places: When you visit retail parks, train stations like Manchester Piccadilly, or entertainment venues, unmarked hazards or poorly maintained flooring can cause falls and head injuries. In some cases, these accidents could entitle you to start a public liability claim if property owners failed their duty of care.
Healthcare settings: If medical professionals in hospitals such as Manchester Royal Infirmary misdiagnose or fail to treat a head injury promptly, you may have grounds for a medical negligence claim.
If you’re not sure if your accident entitles you to start a Manchester head injury claim, please give our team a call today. We’ll assess your claim and explain your legal options for free.
Most Common Head Injuries
Our solicitors can help you claim for anything other than the most minor head injuries. This means we could help you make a head injury claim for:
Concussions caused by falls or sports-related accidents
Skull fractures, for example after severe impacts at construction sites
Traumatic brain injuries, such as those sustained in car collisions near Manchester Royal Infirmary
Scalp lacerations, common after slips in public places around the Trafford Centre
Contusions (bruising of the brain) from workplace machinery accidents
Penetrating head injuries, sometimes resulting from assault or defects in rented housing
Hematomas, including subdural or epidural, following cycling or pedestrian accidents
Diffuse axonal injuries often associated with high-speed road traffic incidents
Whatever type of injury you’ve suffered, please let us know so that we can evaluate your chances of being compensated.
Am I Eligible To Start A Claim?
One of our solicitors may be able to help you claim compensation for a head injury if:
The other party (the defendant) owed you a legal duty of care.
You were involved in an accident because that duty was breached.
A head injury that can be linked to the accident was sustained.
The easiest way to check if one of our solicitors can take on your head injury claim is to give us a call. There’s no pressure or obligation to take action but when you contact us, we’ll assess your case and explain your options for free.

How A Head Injury Claim Works
When you work with our solicitors, they’ll manage the claims process on your behalf. This means that we’ll ensure all paperwork is filed on time, evidence is gathered, and medical assessments are booked. This allows you to concentrate on your recovery, rather than any legal tasks.
Evidence To Support Your Claim
Gathering strong evidence is crucial for a successful head injury claim. You’ll need to provide medical records from facilities such as Manchester Royal Infirmary, accident reports, photos of the scene, and contact details for witnesses. If you work with us, a solicitor will collect and organise this evidence, arrange independent medical assessments, liaise with witnesses, and draft clear documentation. You’ll benefit from a comprehensive approach that secures the strongest possible case for your head injury compensation claim.
Time Limits For Head Injury Claims
Strict legal deadlines apply when making a head injury claim. The Limitation Act 1980 provides a three-year period, counted from the date of your injury or when you first became aware of the damage.
If the injured party lacks mental capacity, there is no time limit and a loved one or representative can act on their behalf at any time. Similarly, while a child is under 18, parents can claim on the child’s behalf at any time. Once they turn 18, they have 3 years to claim themselves.

What Does Compensation In A Head Injury Claim Cover?
Compensation in a head injury claim covers the financial and non-financial losses you’ve suffered as a result of your injury. You could be entitled to claim for:
General damages: Compensation for pain, suffering and loss of amenity, including issues linked to traumatic brain injuries, concussions or skull fractures. These factors depend on the severity, symptoms and long-term effects of your head injury.
Special damages: Reimbursement for loss of earnings, travel to appointments at Manchester Royal Infirmary or Salford Royal Hospital, or medical expenses, such as physiotherapy or cognitive rehabilitation. These damages also cover specialist equipment, home adaptations and ongoing care or support if needed.
Future financial loss: Projected cost of care, future loss of earnings, and replacement of lost benefits, based on medical expert reports and independent assessments.
Support and rehabilitation: Costs of private therapy, professional rehabilitation, and other practical support to help you recover and adapt physically or emotionally after your injury.
When you claim head injury compensation, our solicitors will document every loss, arrange independent medical assessments, and gather evidence from employers, hospitals and therapists. You’ll receive ongoing advice to identify every potential loss, making sure that nothing is missed.
The Benefits Of Claiming On A No Win No Fee Basis
Claiming head injury compensation on a No Win No Fee basis lets you access legal support without any upfront legal costs or financial risk. This means you only pay for your solicitor’s work if you are awarded compensation.
A No Win No Fee agreement, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement, offers several advantages:
Removes financial barriers, so you can pursue head injury claims, even if you can’t afford legal fees upfront.
Aligns solicitor interests with yours, as they are paid only if your claim is successful.
Enables access to expert advice and case management throughout your claim, covering evidence gathering, medical assessments at facilities like Manchester Royal Infirmary, and negotiations with insurers.
Minimises personal risk, since you won’t pay for legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful.
You’ll receive clear information upfront on fees and only pay a capped success fee from your compensation if you win.
Why not call today if you’d like to check if you’re able to make a No Win No Fee head injury claim?
