How Much Compensation?

As all personal injury cases are unique, the amount of compensation awarded is different for every case. The amount awarded looks at general damages and special damages.

General damages

Pain and suffering is the main factor used to determine how much compensation. This is usually determined by a medical examination. This creates a report that outlines the length of time the injuries will take to heal as well as their severity.

Special damages

Compensation takes into account the financial losses you have suffered as a result of your injuries. Such as a loss of earnings due to being unable to return to work. If you have had to pay for treatment or travel to treatment, compensation may also be able to cover this as well. Keep any receipts or other documents that help to outline the extent of your financial losses.

Except for children, there is a three-year time limit on making a personal injury claim. This time limit begins from the date that the accident occurred. You should contact us as soon as possible to assess your case.
