Compensation Levels

 There are many different types of accidents and equally many different types of injuries that people suffer.  The amount of personal injury compensation awarded depends on the extent of the injury and the financial losses involved.

Make sure you have medical evidence


Compensation is awarded for pain, suffering and your inability to do things after your accident that you could do before. The award is made based upon medical evidence, normally specialist reports, of the injuries suffered. The amount of compensation takes account of how your injuries or disease affect you now and how they might affect you in the future.


Compensation for Financial Losses


Accident compensation is also paid to cover financial losses suffered as a result of the accident. The aim of this type of compensation is to put you back in a position, financially, as if the accident had never occurred. You should keep receipts and invoices for any expenses associated with your accident, e.g. for prescriptions and the cost of traveling to hospital.


More Serious Personal Injury Claim Cases


Accident compensation will cover any loss of earnings since the accident and any future loss of earnings. In more serious cases personal injury compensation will extend to alterations to property or vehicles and on-going care costs, including those provided by the family.


Cases Involving a Fatality


Additional damages will be awarded where the case involves a fatality. These will be for funeral expenses and compensation to any living relatives, who were dependent on the deceased for their income and time.
