What type of loss was suffered?

All personal injury court actions will seek to obtain compensation for the pain and suffering caused by the injury. They may also seek compensation for any financial losses incurred.

Our accident compensation lawyers will advise you on what claims you can make. In general, however, they fall into four categories:
 

• Compensation for pain and suffering

This depends entirely on the circumstances of the case - the severity of the injuries and the impact it has had on your life. It is very difficult to put a precise figure on what amount is likely to be awarded by the court but, as personal injury specialists, we know what has been awarded in the past. We can guide you.

• Compensation for loss of wages

Perhaps you were unable to work for a time, and have lost wages as a result? Or you had to work reduced hours, in order to ease yourself back into the workplace? Or maybe you have been told that you will never work again?

In each case you should be able to make a compensation claim for the financial loss you have suffered.


• Compensation for services

Sometimes people need help after suffering a personal injury. Often family members will step in, but on other occasions it is necessary to pay someone to help with personal or domestic tasks.

You can claim for compensation in both situations.

• Compensation for other financial losses

There are many hidden extras in coping with a personal injury. Expenses such as travelling to medical appointments, buying medicines, or making modifications to your home are among the many out of pocket expenses that can be included in a personal injury claim.
