Seeking compensation for a head injury at work can alleviate any financial burden you may have to contend with and could be vital when it comes to ensuring you can afford the care needed for the remainder of your life. To find out more about how to claim compensation for a head injury at work, please read on.
The compensation value of a mild head injury can range from a couple of hundred dollars to somewhere under $5,000. This includes a trip to the emergency department or urgent care to get checked out, and a few days off from work. Higher estimates account for the possibility of the doctor ordering an MRI to rule out any serious problems.
Should you lose your head injury claim against your employer, the “success fee” would not have to be paid. If you win your case, the percentage you agreed to pay for the legal representation you received, is taken out of the compensation you receive on a successful head injury claim.
