The following is a sponsored post about filing claims for head and brain injuries. I was compensated for this article.
Successfully filing brain injury compensation claims means providing the courts with certain, specific information to help them first of all decide whether negligence or fault can be proven and also the level of compensation that is due. There are many sources where viable and useful information can be taken from including medical records of the injured party, details of past injuries and near misses at the same site, location, or spot, and witness statements.
Medical Records
Medical records will prove invaluable evidence to your case and they will be used to help determine how much compensation you are due. Every case is a little different and this means that whereas one person may have a substantial claim following extensive injuries, another claimant may have a smaller claim. It is the extent of the injuries and the impact that they have on the claimant that will ultimately determine this figure.
Typical Values
Minor head injuries with no evidence of brand damage will typically carry a compensation figure of about £1,500 while minor brain damage can lead to compensation between £1,500 and £7,500. On-going bran damage may provide you with compensation between £10,000 and £180,000 depending on the severity and the overall ill effects on your life. Severe brain damage, which usually carries a reduced life expectancy and major on-going problems, can attract a payment of £200,000 up to £300,000.
Historical Evidence
As well as the severity of the injury, you may find that the nature of the accident has some bearing on the total amount that you are awarded. A history of similar accidents, gross negligence, and other factors will usually be considered in your favour when the courts are calculating a reasonable compensation figure. Your solicitor will be able to look at past case history to determine a likely figure and a precedent for how much you should expect to win.
