How much can I claim for a work accident traumatic brain injury?

A work accident traumatic brain injury can be a very disturbing experience. Not only do you have to wait to see whether your injury will turn out to be mild or severe, but you will also be worried about the future. Will you be able to work and provide for your family? Will your personality change?

If the work accident was not your fault, you could take positive steps to deal with the situation and claim for compensation. Your employer has a clear duty to keep you safe in the workplace, and if the accident happened in breach of this duty, he is at fault.

Perhaps your employer was a bit slipshod about Health and Safety practices, or maybe no one ever gave you any training with essential machinery. These are issues that will be addressed when you come to claim for compensation.

No doubt you are keen to find out how much compensation you can claim. This is never crystal clear, as there can be a diverse range of personal reactions to any particular injury. However, here is a guide to the sums that you can expect to recover.

General damages

General damages account for the pain and suffering that you have endured. There is a standard tariff which the courts use to decide these amounts, and gives personal injury lawyers a guide to the amount that is reasonable for a particular work accident traumatic brain injury. However, no two brain injuries are the same, and you might be referred to a specialist medical practitioner in this area for an expert opinion on how much the brain injury has affected and will affect your enjoyment of life, including your hobbies and interests.

Special damages

Special damages are much more tangible, and relate to amounts of money that you have actually lost or had to pay out as a direct result of the injury. For example, for a severe work accident traumatic brain injury your projected loss of earnings can be considerable. Perhaps you will be able to work, but not in as high paid or stressful role as the one you held before. These are all issues that medical expert witnesses can be used to inform the parties about.

Do not worry about the costs of the medical expert. At Maximum Compensation we bear the costs of such expenses and recover them later from your employer, if you win your case. And if you lose your case, you do not have to pay anything. We try to arrange medical appointments in your home town where possible. However, for something as complicated as a work accident traumatic brain injury you might have to travel to a different city. If this is the case, keep the travel receipts as you could be bale to recover these travel costs from your employer if your claim is successful.
