Accidents Injury Compensation

Before making accident injury compensation claim it is important to know what you can actually claim for after an injury has been sustained.

As of right you are entitled to be compensated for damage to your clothing and property and for any loss of earnings due to your injuries.

If the accident cost you any insurance excess, perhaps as a result of a motor vehicle car accident, this amount may be included in the compensation award. Also, the cost of any medical treatment following the accident can also be claimed back. These items are labelled as “special damages” as they are easy to quantify.

Other aspects of compensation may be taken into consideration by a court when assessing an accident injury compensation award. These are called “general damages.” These are difficult to quantify and the court has to assess the value.

“Special damages” include the loss of any future earnings that your injuries may have cost you. This is most relevant if you are likely to be off work for a prolonged period of time or if your injuries force you to take a lower paid job.

Also taken into account is the impact that your injuries will have on your lifestyle.

As it is difficult to put a figure on “special damages” you will require a skilled professional, usually a solicitor, with plenty of experience in accident injury compensation claims to persuade a court to make your compensation sum as high as possible.

As in all legal claims it is in your own interests to hire a compensation solicitor who is not only skilled in these kinds of compensation claims cases, but who will carefully explain to you what the procedure entails.
