A head injury from a car accident may have differing settlement amounts compared to a head injury at work.

What to do if someone falls and hits their head?
When someone falls and hits their head, immediately check for an open airway (keep the person as still as possible and extend their neck by tipping their chin upwards to open their airway), breathing, and circulation (checking their pulse). Check for signs of severe injury. If they show severe injury symptoms or are unconscious, call emergency services immediately.
If conscious, stabilize their head and neck, assess for signs of bleeding and apply pressure, and monitor closely for signs of a concussion. Seek medical attention for any head injury.
