Head Injury At Work
The Problem: Trauma and Long-Term Impact
Head injuries at work—caused by falls from height, falling objects, slips, or equipment failure—can range from severe concussion to life-altering Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Even seemingly minor head trauma can result in lasting cognitive and psychological effects.
At Dorians Solicitors, we treat all head injuries with the utmost seriousness, focusing on long-term neurological health.

Employer's Duty: Safety And Protection
Employers have a duty of care to mitigate risks that could lead to head trauma, primarily through:
Providing and enforcing the use of appropriate head protection (hard hats).
Ensuring work at height regulations are followed (to prevent falls).
Implementing exclusion zones where objects could fall (e.g., construction sites, warehouses).
Maintaining safe walkways (to prevent slips/trips leading to head impact).
Why Choose Dorians Solicitors Ltd?
Head injuries, particularly TBIs, require specialist care and large compensation settlements. Your experienced lawyer will work immediately with neurologists and neuropsychologists to accurately diagnose and project future losses, including lost earnings and cognitive rehabilitation costs. We prioritise securing substantial interim payments to fund immediate private neuro-rehabilitation, giving you the best chance of recovery. We offer this specialist service on a No Win No Fee basis.
Crucial Evidence: Protect Your Claim
The most vital evidence is medical documentation of the injury and its cause. We strongly advise you to:
Seek Immediate Medical Care:
Attend A&E for a full neurological assessment and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) test.
Document the Accident:
Ensure the precise cause of the head trauma (e.g., height of fall, object weight) is logged in the Accident Book.
Log Symptoms:
Keep a detailed diary of any ongoing symptoms (memory loss, headaches, personality changes) for diagnostic purposes.
Retain the PPE (If Applicable):
Preserve the hard hat or protective equipment you were wearing for inspection.
