Personal injury solicitors and claiming for loss of enjoyment

If you have suffered injury in an accident that your personal injury solicitor can prove was caused by the negligence of another party, he or she may be able to secure you a component of compensation to account for loss of enjoyment. In fact, almost every successful injury claim will include some allowance for loss of enjoyment.

Technically speaking, money paid for loss of enjoyment is considered a form of hedonic damages. The word "hedonic" is derived from the Greek for "delight", and hedonic damages can be considered, literally, as compensation paid for the impairments placed by injury on a claimant's sensations of life pleasures.

What these pleasures are will vary vastly from claimant to claimant. It will be up to the individual claimant's personal injury solicitor to argue the type of loss and the extent of loss. Placing a value on such things can be extremely difficult.

For example, a keen amateur footballer who suffers a serious leg injury in an accident at work may be able to prove, through the testimony of team mates, family and friends, that the loss of enjoyment felt at losing the ability to play football is deserving of perhaps a three-figure or a four-figure sum.

In the end, having quality legal representation can make the difference in ensuring that you are 100% compensated for your loss of enjoyment.
