Compensation claim advice following a non-fault accident

One of the things people ask us when making a compensation claim, is 'how much compensation am I likely to get?' This is always a difficult question for us to answer in our initial conversation with you, as there are so many variables involved in calculating likely compensation amounts.

No matter how similar accidents may appear, no two accidents are ever the same. Some of the biggest factors that determine compensation figures are the extent of your injuries, the length of your recovery and the effect the injuries have had (and may continue to have) on your life.

People can be affected very differently by an accident and their physical recovery may be at different rates. An accident can also effect some people psychological and emotionally. One person may be back behind the wheel following a car accident, the same day. Another person may be unable to drive again.

The compensation you are awarded for the effects the accident has had on your life are called 'general damages'. In addition to this you can also claim for out of pocket expenses or losses, these are 'special damages'. You can also claim 'future losses' and interest.

See How much compensation will I get, for more information about the different types of compensation you can claim for and the Compensation calculator for the amount of compensation you may receive.
