How much compensation am I owed?

Compensation is decided on a case by case basis, taking into account the pain and suffering caused by your injuries and the impact that these injuries have had upon your ability to function/your amenity. For example, if you can no longer complete tasks that you normally could, you may be able to be compensated for this loss of ability.

Compensation also takes financial loss into account. If you have experienced a loss of income due to your injuries, then it may be possible to account for this loss of income through compensation. Similarly, if you have had to pay for treatment or other costs associated with your injuries, it may be possible to claim these costs back through compensation.

To calculate how much compensation you could be owed, use our compensation calculator. However, it is important to remember that these figures are just estimates based upon previous cases. The best way to determine how much compensation you are likely to receive in your case is to speak directly to a personal injury solicitor.

How do I make a claim?

If you have any documents related to the accident, such as medical transcripts, photographs, witness details or notes, you should keep these safe as they could be used as important pieces of evidence in your case.
