How much compensation can I claim?
Every claim is different, however compensation awards for personal injury claims are based on a set of national guidelines called the Judicial College Guidelines. These guideline are published for the assessment of general damages in personal injury cases.
The latest set of guidelines (the 15th edition) were published at the end of 2019. Some example guideline amounts for injuries are as follows:
- Serious knee injury with long term problems – £20,880 to £34,660
- Leg fractures or soft tissue injury causing some long term problems – £14,320 to £22,130
- Serious back injury causing significant permanent impact – £59,120 to £70,490
- Serious shoulder injuries that cause a weakness of grip or injury that leads to restricted shoulder movement – £8,400 to £12,600
- Serious hand injury with significant loss of use of the hand – £23,110 to £49,350
- Serious neck injury involving fractures or damage to discs – £52,390 to £104,370
The value of your claim may be worth more or less than these figures quoted. These guidelines are purely used for illustrative purposes.
Claims are worth significantly more when “special damages” are factored in. Special damages include loss of earning claims and costs associated with long term care and rehabilitation. Special damages can increase the value of a claim by hundreds of thousands of pounds and in some cases, millions of pounds.
My accident was over a year ago, can I still claim?
You have 3 years from the date of your accident or formal medical diagnosis to start your claim.
In some work related cases, where your injury may have taken many years to come to light (claims for HAVS, Asbestos or WRULD for example), this 3 year claim period starts from the date you first linked your symptoms to your work.
We recommend you contact us as soon as possible, to ensure that your claim does not fall outside of this strict 3 year claim window.
Call us on 01507 609027 and our friendly solicitors will advise you on your potential claim.
