Frequently Asked Questions

How is personal injury compensation calculated?

The Court tries to put any injured party in the position they would have been in had the accident not occurred. It is of course not possible to turn back time to before the accident, so a sum is awarded for pain, suffering, and loss of amenity. This is known as general damages and is guided by previously decided case law.

In addition, it is possible to claim for any reasonably incurred financial loss which has been caused as a result of the accident. This can include things like loss of earnings, care costs and costs of adaptations to property and equipment. We will be able to advise you further on this.
