Making A Claim For Nerve Damage

Claim Compensation

The amount of compensation that you are awarded for your injury is unique and will be based upon the specific circumstances surrounding your case. The amount of compensation that you are awarded will be determined by two categories: general damages and special damages.

GENERAL DAMAGES

General damages refer to the physical and emotional damage caused by your injuries. In the simplest terms, it refers to compensation for pain and suffering. This type of compensation also covers any losses of amenity. Compensation will be awarded based upon the severity of these factors, understanding that the higher the severity of your complications, the worse the pain/suffering is.

SPECIAL DAMAGES

Special damages compensation refers to compensation that covers the financial losses and expenses incurred as a result of an accident or medical negligence. Special damages could help to reclaim a loss of income if you have been unable to work due to your injuries.
