Head Injury Compensation Calculator for Compensation Payouts

What value could your Head injury Compensation be worth?

Calculating compensation for serious head injury is rarely straightforward, the lasting effects of serious injury to the head can be enormous, and therefore, many factors must be considered by the Courts in awarding suitable levels of Compensation.

Head injuries can range from a mild concussion to the extremely serious, with the potential for life-changing and potentially life-threatening consequences. 

Severe head injuries can result in the victim suffering permanent damage, potentially affecting their mobility and speech. Head injuries can also lead to cognitive impairment, affecting the victim’s personality, memory, or, attention span. This often has a significant effect on their home and work life and can have a detrimental effect on personal relationships with friends and family members.

If you, a close friend, or a family member have sustained a head injury as the result of third-party negligence and are experiencing pain and suffering or unfortunately worse, this can be an extremely challenging and emotional time, often compounded by other factors such as loss of earnings, or even the potential to be unable to work again, then you will be entitled to make a Head Injury Compensation Claim.

We will advise you of the viability of your Head Injury Compensation Claim, and expertly assess the potential value of your Compensation payout, as well as helping to ensure you receive the best possible care package to enable the strongest chance of making the fullest recovery.

How are Head Injury Compensation Settlements Calculated?

Your compensation figure will be calculated by combining the 'General Damages' and the 'Special Damages'.

The General Damages are awarded for the pain, suffering, and loss of amenity (PSLA) incurred as a direct result of the injury. The damages figure is based on the type of injury you have and the severity of it. These figures are calculated using the guidelines established by the Judicial College.

  • Pain (P) - The physical pain suffered and caused by the accident.
  • Mental Suffering (S) – The psychological effect, e.g. anxiety, distress, embarrassment, etc.
  • Loss of Amenity (LA) - This is the reduction in quality of life and enjoyment, i.e. loss of sense of taste, preventing enjoyment of going out for meals or loss of legs, preventing the enjoyment of going for walks.

The Special Damages are awarded for any financial costs you have incurred or financial losses you have suffered. The Special Damages are unique in every claim and will be assessed by your Accredited Personal Injury Solicitor but will include things like:

  • Loss of earnings due to the injury, historic and future
  • Medical expenses you have incurred, and are likely to incur in the future
  • Travel Expenses e.g. taxi to a hospital appointment
  • Loss or damage to property during the incident
  • Home and vehicle adaptation costs.

How much compensation can I expect for a Head Injury Claim?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions but not one that is easy to answer, especially when it comes to complexities involved in head injuries, so we will always fully assess your claim before offering a full compensation claim figure but the figures below offer a guide as to what sort of figure you might be able to claim for General Damages.

The figures above are based on those of the Judicial College and serve as a guide to the potential level of General Damages you may be entitled to claim. Every effort has been taken to ensure that these figures are as accurate as possible and are intended as a guide only. The PSR injury claims calculator covers General Damages only, each case differs and some cases may warrant special damages, so ensure you contact us to discuss the potential value of your compensation award once all of the circumstances have been considered.

PSR Solicitors are specialist Head Injury Lawyers and have a long-standing record of successfully settling a varied range of head injury compensation claims.

  • Slips & trips on uneven or slippery ground
  • Neurological trauma due to medical negligence
  • Sports accidents
  • Accidents on construction sites
  • Bicycle or pedestrian accidents
  • Motorbike accidents
  • Industrial accidents
