What compensation can you expect to receive if you have a serious personal injury claim?
Every case is unique as it depends on the severity of the injury and your personal circumstances. If your claim is successful, your compensation will be broken down into three elements:
General damages: This payment is for your pain, suffering and loss of amenity, so basically, it depends on how severe your pain and suffering has been and the impact it’s had on your everyday life, for example, if you can no longer do chores or enjoy hobbies you used to have.
Special damages: This payment covers all the expenses you’ve had as a result of your serious personal injury, such as:
- Loss of wages
- Loss of pension entitlement
- Medical expenses
- Treatment and rehabilitation costs
- Aids, equipment and adaptations to property
- Loss of personal property
- Travelling expenses
Future damages: This payment covers any expenses you’re likely to have in the future as a result of your ongoing injuries, such as:
- Loss of future wages
- Loss of future pension
- Future care costs
- Future rehabilitation and treatment costs
- Future replacement costs of aids and equipment
