What is a Personal Injury Compensation Claim?
Personal injury describes any type of injury which has been caused to your body. Personal Injury claims often arise from road traffic accidents, accidents at work, trips or slips on the pavement (highway claims) to name but a few. There are two different categories of compensation (known as damages) you may be able to claim – General damages, and Special damages.
General Damages
General damages are compensation for the pain and suffering and loss of amenity (sometimes known as PSLA) which is suffered by the claimant and which is a direct result of the negligence/ breach of statutory duty of the Defendant.
Calculating the precise amount of money which will adequately compensate an injured person is not a science – and there is often a range of awards for similar injuries. If the matter goes to Court, the Court will consider matters such as the impact the accident has upon your life. This is where the experience of your Solicitor is invaluable.
Special Damages
Special damages encompass all financial or ‘out of pocket’ past and future expenses incurred as a result of the accident. Calculation of Special damages is much more precise. It could include loss of earnings, damage to property, medical expenses, money spent on travel, medical and prescription fees etc. Any expense reasonably incurred which can be directly attributable to the accident / injury can be claimed.
Who can make a Personal Injury Claim?
If you’ve been injured in an accident that was not your fault you may be able to make a claim for any personal injury suffered , and financial losses which are a consequence of the negligence/ breach of statutory duty.
If the injured person is under 18 year old, the court will require a “litigation friend” to claim on their behalf.
If someone close to you has died as a result of someone else’s negligence/ breach of statutory duty, we can help you access bereavement support as well as compensation for their wrongful death.
