How much is my personal injury claim worth?

‘How much is my personal injury claim worth?’ is a question asked in every personal injury compensation claim.

An award of compensation is mainly made up of two elements: compensation for pain and suffering, and compensation for financial loss. Different types of injury result in different levels of compensation.

How is the value of my personal injury claim calculated?

Even if no financial losses or expenses have been incurred, for example loss of earnings, you will still be entitled to make a claim for compensation for the injury sustained.

Compensation for pain and suffering will be calculated taking into account lots of factors, including:

  • the type of injury sustained
  • the severity of the injury
  • the length of recovery time
  • the extent of any lasting damage, permanent symptoms or ongoing disability
  • any scarring caused by the injury
  • whether there has been more than one injury or psychological symptoms caused by the accident
  • the impact that the injury has had on your day to day life and activities

 

A personal injury solicitor will assess how much your personal injury claim is worth. The value of your claim will be decided on the basis of medical evidence and taking into account all relevant factors, including guidelines for compensation and previous court awards.

 

Compensation for financial loss

In addition to compensation for pain and suffering, you are also entitled to claim for any financial losses and expenses incurred as a result of the accident. The most common financial losses relate to loss of earnings, medical treatment fees and vehicle or property damage.

You will be required to provide details and evidence to support any financial loss claim. It is very important to keep receipts for any expenses incurred.
