Head Injury Compensation Claims

Making a head injury claim for compensation is easy with Shine Lawyers. After we find out a bit more about your situation we can sit down and go through what the legal process will mean to you and the steps involved. We’ll explain things in plain English and never bombard you with legal jargon.

Simply contact us today to find out your legal options and if you are able to make a head injury claim for compensation.

To get you the compensation you need following your head injury, as lawyers we’ll need to prove:

• A person or business was careless
• You have suffered as a result of this carelessness
• You will continue to suffer in the future

Following a serious head injury, we understand a high level of care, rehabilitation and support might be necessary to help you regain your health or improve your situation. In some cases, there may be aspects of your life that can never return back to normal.

Depending on how serious your head injury is, compensation can be recovered for:

• Home and yard modifications
• The cost of special equipment
• Insurance and maintenance costs of special equipment
• Special vehicle costs
• Technical equipment which may assist with memory
• Equipment to help with visual difficulties
• Paid nursing, respite or support worker care
• Costs for maintaining your rehabilitation
• Medical supplies and pharmaceutical expenses
• Costs associated with managing your compensation

Compensation amounts are based on your individual circumstances and the recommendations made by medical professionals.

In most injury related cases, the insurance company of the person/company who is responsible for the incident, will pay the compensation.

The person/company won’t pay out of their own pocket so they won’t have to find lawyers to help them. Their insurance company will deal with everything.

Every head injury compensation claim is different. The amount of compensation you are entitled to really depends on the extent of your head injury and the impact it has had on your life.

Your legal team can help you understand what you may be able to claim once they know a bit more about your situation.

How long your head injury claim will take depends on how complicated your situation is, how serious your injuries are, and what treatment you’re likely to need before your injuries will stabilise.

Many head injury claims can be finalised within 18 months, but more complex cases with multiple injuries can take longer.

Our team will always be up front with how long the claim may take and keep you fully informed about the process along the way.

There are time limits when it comes to making a claim for compensation following a head injury, which is why it’s important to seek legal help straight away after your injury.

The time limits vary for each state so it’s important you contact us to ensure you are fully informed about your rights.

We work on a No Win No Fee basis, so you will only pay our legal fees if you win your case.
