compensation following an accident
illness or injury - nationwide
Call: 0800 10 757 95
If you or a close family member has suffered a head injury as a result of being struck by a falling branch or tree, it may be possible to claim head injury compensation.
Whether trees are on council-owned or privately-owned land, those who manage the property have an obligation to ensure that the trees are in good condition and pose no threat to any workers or passers-by.
Although these kinds of accidents might seem unforeseen, risk assessments should be in place to predict any danger – where this has not been done and an accident has followed anyone affected may ask a personal injury solicitor to proceed with a claim for head injury compensation.
Housing association accident claim
In 2011 a man received £2.5 million compensation for the catastrophic head injury he received after being hit by a falling branch while on housing association land.
After being struck by part of an Atlantic cedar, he was left in a "locked in" state and required round-the-clock care.
Environment Agency accident claim
In 2009 a teacher made a head injury claim against the Environment Agency after she was injured by a falling branch while walking on Environment Agency land in East Sussex.
The woman's personal injury solicitor accused the Environment Agency of failing to carry out annual checks on trees adjacent to the public pathway, as is recommended. The personal injury solicitor also said that the claimant had been unable to return to her job as a result of her injury.
