Minor head injury (£1,600 ~ £9,700)
You could be awarded between £1,600 and £9,700 as compensation for suffering minor head injuries in an accident.
Shallow skull fractures and concussions are examples of minor head injuries. Symptoms of minor head injuries include nausea, headaches, double vision, memory loss (amnesia) and more. The most likely causes of minor head injuries are road traffic accidents and work accidents.
Hair damage (£3,000 ~ £8,300)
You could be awarded between £3,000 and £8,300 as compensation for suffering damage to your hair in an accident.
Damage to your hair and hair loss can be caused by dermatitis, burn injuries and trauma head injuries. Compensation awarded for damage to your hair depends on the length of time it takes to regrow; if permanent baldness has been caused; if any psychological issues develop; how it affects your social and work life; and if surgery is required.
Loss of taste (£14,600 ~ £29,800)
You could be awarded between £14,600 and £29,800 as compensation for suffering loss of taste (ageusia) from a brain injury accident.
It is very rare to suffer a complete loss of taste (also known as ageusia). A brain injury would be the most likely cause for suffering loss of taste. It is also possible to lose your sense of taste from medical negligence during surgery performed on the mouth, nose, throat or ear. The loss of taste and smell are closely linked and will often occur together.
Loss of smell (£19,000 ~ £29,800)
You could be awarded between £19,000 and £29,800 as compensation for suffering loss of smell (anosmia) from a brain injury accident.
It is very rare to suffer a complete loss of smell (also known as anosmia). Anosmia can be caused by an impact injury to the head or brain. The loss of taste and smell are closely linked and will often occur together. You can be awarded towards the upper end of the compensation bracket for suffering a total loss of taste and smell.
Epilepsy (£1,600 ~ £114,100)
You could be awarded between £1,600 and £114,100 as compensation for developing or suffering epilepsy caused by a head injury accident.
Epilepsy is a brain condition that causes a seizure fit. The two most common epileptic seizures are tonic-clonic seizures and absence seizures. A tonic-clonic seizure (also known as grand mal seizure) is when the sufferer is affected with uncontrolled jerking movement. An absence seizure (also known as petit mal seizure) causes the sufferer to lose consciousness yet remain awake. You can claim for epilepsy if it was caused by a trauma injury or after experiencing medical negligence.
Brain damage (£32,000 ~ £307,000)
You could be awarded between £32,000 and £307,000 as compensation for suffering brain damage from a head injury accident.
Brain damage is damage to your brain caused by physical head trauma or some form of medical negligence. There are a number of symptoms associated with brain damage including reduced life expectancy, paralysis, impairment of intellect, abnormal behaviour, a change of personality, memory loss (amnesia), loss of co-ordination, poor concentration, epilepsy and more.
