  • Slips, trips and falls – Whether it is falling over a cracked pavement stone or slipping on snow or ice that has not been cleared then you may have the right to seek a compensation claim.
  • Medical negligenceMedical negligence can cover a wide range of issues such as misdiagnosis, birth injuries or blood clots.

What Effects Can a Personal Injury Have?

If you have been injured at work or somewhere else and it wasn’t your fault, you may feel that after the initial pain and discomfort, you have suffered no ill effects. Maybe that is right but what many people don’t understand is that a personal injury can have a huge range of consequences, some more obvious than others. Ask yourself these questions:

  • Have you suffered pain and suffering? You may have suffered physical pain and/or mental suffering at the time, but have you suffered it since? Pain, discomfort and suffering can last a long time after some injuries, and the compensation may have to cover longer periods of time.
  • Have you suffered loss of earnings? Have you had to take time away from work because of your injury? If so, you may have lost out on wages. This loss of earnings can be reclaimed as part of your settlement.
  • Has your capacity to earn been affected? If, because of your inquiry you may not be able to earn as much money as you could before, you may be able to claim for future loss of earnings.
  • Have I had any medical expenses? – Have you had to pay for any of your medical treatment such as physiotherapy or counselling? Medical bills can also be included in your payout.
  • Has there been a decline in my quality of life? Is your life of the same quality as before the accident? If not, you may be able to claim for this as part of your compensation claim.

How Much Could My Personal Injury Claim Be Worth?

You may be wondering how much compensation you could be awarded as a result of your claim. Unfortunately, there is no universal figure we can give in this article that would match everyone’s potential valuation. There are a number of differences between each and every personal injury claim. Therefore, the only way to get an accurate idea of how much you could be awarded is to get in touch with us directly.

We can however supply you with some example figures from the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG). Both physical pain and mental suffering caused by someone else’s negligence deserve to be compensated. The sum you’d receive for this is called general damages, and the JCG is used to calculate that figure. In this legal publication, there is a list of injuries that is very detailed. Each injury has alongside it a range of figures that suggests their potential worth in general damages.

General damages are not to be confused with special damages. Special damages are awarded to reimburse the injured party for costs such as loss of earnings or medical bills that have taken place due to their injuries.

The table below lists potential general damages fees. This is only a small sample of the injuries listed in the JCG, so don’t worry if your injury doesn’t appear in the table.
