Neurology compensation claims solicitors
Whether temporary or permanent, neurological injuries can be life changing. The situation can be made even more complicated if the accident happened due to negligence, when the injury was not your fault. Whether your work-related neurological injuries are due to an accident at work or due to exposure to toxic substances, you may be able to make a neurology negligence claim. The effects of a neurological injury can be different for each person and can result in loss of earnings, disability and being unable to enjoy regular activities. A neurological injury suffered at work can also cause a change in personality, reduce mobility, affect memory and render a person unable to work.

Neurology claims after an injury at work
According to the NHS, neurological conditions result from damage to the brain, spinal column and peripheral nerves.
Neurological injuries at work can be caused by:
- Slips, trips and falls
- Being struck by a falling object
- Exposure to neurotoxins such as chemicals, gasses, naturally occurring elements and synthetic compound
Many workers are exposed to such risks across a spectrum of industries. If you work with chemicals or other neurotoxic substances that may affect the brain or the nervous system, your employer has a duty to keep you as safe as possible, in order to avoid severe neurological injury. This includes:
- Ensuring employees are wearing the appropriate personal protection wear
- There is proper ventilation or closed production facilities to minimise exposure
- That leaks are avoided and dealt with in the appropriate manner, if they do happen
- The appropriate planning and training are putting into place
- Worker health surveillance – conducting regular medical checks to detect signs of neurotoxicant intoxication
Neurological injuries sustained at work can result in:
- Epilepsy
- Sickness and vomiting
- Dizziness
- Paralysis
- Death
While this is not a comprehensive list, if your employer has failed in their duty to keep you from harm, then then it may be possible to investigate neurology claims for compensation. Neurological negligence is extremely serious and if you are suffering as a result, it’s time you got the compensation that you deserve.
At Stephensons, we are experts in neurology claims and we will always aim to get the maximum amount of compensation for your situation. A compensation pay-out can make all the difference to you and your family’s quality of life. Depending on your case, we can also ask for an interim payment, so that treatments or home adjustments can be paid for. An early compensation payment can also help you out financially if you have had trouble making ends meet due to not being able to work. It is worth noting that interim payments will be taken out of your final compensation award.

What is a neurological work injury and how does it differ from other types of work injuries?
A neurological work injury refers to damage or trauma to the nervous system caused by accidents or work-related activities. It differs from other types of work injuries as it specifically affects the nerves, spinal cord, or brain, leading to various debilitating conditions such as paralysis, cognitive impairments, or sensory deficits.
What are the common causes of neurological work injuries?
Common causes of neurological work injuries include repetitive motion or overuse injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve compression or entrapment, falls or accidents causing head or spinal cord trauma, exposure to toxic substances or chemicals, and prolonged exposure to excessive noise or vibrations.
What are the symptoms and signs of neurological work injuries?
Common symptoms and signs of neurological work injuries include headaches, dizziness, changes in vision or coordination, difficulty speaking or swallowing, numbness or tingling in the extremities, muscle weakness or spasms, memory problems, and changes in mood or behaviour.
How can I protect my rights and seek compensation for a neurological work injury?
To protect your rights and seek compensation for a neurological work injury, you should consult with a solicitor who specialises in workers' compensation cases. They can guide you through the legal process, gather evidence, and advocate on your behalf to ensure you receive the compensation and benefits you are entitled to.
Can I still claim compensation for a neurological work injury if I have already received workers' compensation benefits?
It depends on the specific circumstances and laws of the jurisdiction. In some cases, if there is a separate legal claim for the neurological work injury, you may still be eligible to seek compensation beyond the workers' compensation benefits received. It is advisable to consult with a legal professional to understand your rights and options.
