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.
Because the range of head injuries is so extensive, the amount of compensation that is awarded can also vary extensively. While a minor head injury claim is worth between £1,000 and £10,000, in cases of severe brain injury, individuals can receive much more. For example, we recently helped a client secure over £10 million in compensation following a 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.
