Claim brain injury compensation with the Motorbike Injury Lawyers

The Motorbike Injury lawyers are here to help you if you or someone you know has been a victim of a motorbike accident. If the accident resulted in damage to the brain, we can help to fight for the brain injury compensation that you deserve.

In this article, we can briefly outline exactly what you could claim for in a motorbike accident resulting in brain injury, and the levels of compensation you could receive; depending on the extent of your injuries.

How we value a compensation claim

There are two main ways we can value brain injury compensation claims. The first is assessing your General Damages, which can cover any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused by the motorbike accident. The second element is Special Damages which can cover any losses and expenses you may incur as a direct result of the motorbike accident.

Each case can be different, so the compensation amounts we can look at in this article are subject to expert medical reviews and our own review, as well as the exact injuries involved in your accident.

Motorbike brain injury compensation amounts

Information from the official guidelines that we use to assess brain injury compensation amounts are outlined below. These are wide brackets for brain injuries as there are so many possibilities that could occur, so where you may fit in the categories will depend on a number of things.

According to the official guidelines: for very severe brain damage, you could be eligible to claim between £224,800 and £322,060. This bracket includes people with little, if any, evidence of meaningful response to their environment; little or no language function; double incontinence; and the need for full-​time nursing care. It can also include some ability to follow basic commands.

Moderately severe brain damage can include where the injured person is very seriously disabled. There may be substantial dependence on others, as well as a need for constant professional care and/or care from relatives. Disabilities may be physical and may include limb paralysis or cognitive problems, with marked impairment of intellect and personality. If your injuries fall into this bracket, you could be eligible to claim between £174,620 and £224,800.

In the moderate brain damage category, you could be eligible to claim between £72,300 and £119,650. This category includes the same injuries as moderately severe but where the degree of dependence is markedly lower.

In the cases of less severe brain damage, this can be where the injured person may have made a good recovery and may still be able to take part in normal social life and return to work. There may not have been a full restoration of all normal functions so there may still be persisting problems such as poor concentration and memory or disinhibition of mood, and this may interfere with lifestyle, leisure activities and future work prospects. Victims could be eligible to claim between £12,210 and £34,330.

Please note that the information above is sourced from the official guidelines. Further, these are just amounts for the injuries alone. In cases like this, the larger proportion of the claim can be made up of Special Damages, such as lost earnings for life, where applicable.
