What can I claim compensation for?
If you’ve been in an accident and suffered injury through no fault of your own, you are eligible for compensation for the financial and emotional hardship that you have undergone. Compensation is assessed based on two main factors:
- General damages: these cover the pain and suffering your injury has caused to date
- Special damages: these refer to any future implications your injury will have on your lifestyle, such as the cost of rehabilitation
Special damages will vary based on your individual circumstances. Take a look at the table below to get an idea of how much you could claim for general damages, based on the severity of your injury. Contact us and we can walk you through the steps of receiving compensation if you have:
- Had an industrial accident.
- Been injured in the workplace.
- Been a victim of a road traffic accident.
- Suffered personal injury or medical negligence.
Based on your individual situation, you can claim for loss of wages and expenses incurred as a result of the accident, as well as for any future impact the injury may have on your quality of life. We operate on a No Win No Fee basis, so you can claim the compensation you are entitled to without any financial risk – if you don’t win, you don’t pay.
