If you’ve suffered a head injury at work, you could be suffering from serious, long-term effects.
At the head injury site, our lawyers combine a detailed understanding of the effect of head and brain injuries with leading expertise in the field of health and safety law and workplace injuries to put together the head injury claim for compensation that you deserve and will help you back on the road to recovery.
Brain injury at work
Our brains are very vulnerable to impact. At work, falls from heights, a blow to the head from equipment or machinery or driving accidents are common causes of head injury. Our safety is protected by a series of health and safety regulations in the UK which are designed to reduce the risk of things going wrong. Employers must comply with these regulations and all employers owe a “duty of care” to ensure that staff are not placed at avoidable risk.
If your employer has failed comply with safe working practices, you may be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation.

You may feel awkward about claiming compensation from your employer, but if you have suffered head or brain injury, ensuring that you get specialist legal advice at an early stage is important, and you have every right to.
