Brain injury compensation news: after a slip or any type of accident involving a brain injury experts at Oakwood are here to help you and your loved ones to get compensation for the injuries you sustained.

Mr W from Warrington was in a public place when his head accident struck. He was hit on the head by a defective window frame.

His accident occurred out of the blue. Mr W suffers from occasional flash-backs and memories of his unfortunate accident.

Oakwood’s dedicated solicitors get compensation for situations like the one that Mr W found himself in frequently. As one of our team commented “All public building owners should know their duty to fix defective equipment. I enjoy getting my clients justice when they have been the victim of an accident in a public place.”

If faulty equipment, such as a defective window frame, has caused an accident in the workplace and resulted in any injuries to employees all possible causes will be investigated. Service records will be checked reports of defects or problems will be examined and the frequency of inspections will be taken into account.

Public places must create a safe environment for the public and also enforce it and ensure that it is adhered to. The owners of these public spaces are responsible for any member of the public who may have an accident on their land and injure themselves unless they can prove they have exercised the correct safety procedures. This is public liability.

If you have been injured and have suffered a brain injury and you need compensation Oakwood’s dedicated public liability solicitors will be delighted to help you.

Everybody’s circumstances are different. There is no set amount of compensation for each type of accident in a public place. The amount of compensation you receive following your accident will depend on multiple factors the most common of which are:

• The nature and severity of the injuries you have suffered; you are more likely to get a higher rate of compensation for injuries such as broken bones and scarring than you are for bruising and soft tissue damage.
• The amount you earn; the more you earn the more you have lost out on. Therefore if you are in a higher paid job you will be entitled to higher rate of compensation to reimburse you for your loss of earnings.
• The amount of time you have spent rehabilitating; the longer you have had to have of work the more earnings you will have lost out on therefore compensation for loss of earnings will be higher. If you have had to spend a long time recovering from an accident and you have been suffering during that time you may get a higher rate of compensation for the prolonged period of suffering.

If like Mr W you have been the unfortunate victim of an accident which wasn’t your fault Oakwood’s team will give you their expertise on a no win no fee basis.
