PERSONAL INJURY COMPENSATION EXPLAINED

Accident at Work Claim

A claim for personal injury compensation can arise from many different circumstances including a car accident, an accident at work or in a public place.  Claims for compensation can also be made for illnesses and diseases caused by the working practices.

We set out below guidance on what your injury or work related illness or disease may be worth in money terms and also the additional financial losses you may be able to claim as well.

Compensation for your accident or disease claim will include “general damages” for the injury or illness and its effects, and “special damages” for the associated financial losses.

GENERAL DAMAGES

These are awarded for "pain, suffering and loss of amenity".

General Damages Compensation

  1. "Pain and suffering" relates to the problems caused by the injury and any medical treatment.
  2. The "loss of amenity" aspect covers things you can no longer do as before, for example a hobby, a chosen career or domestic tasks.

SPECIAL DAMAGES

Special Damages Compensation

Financial losses you have suffered as a result of the accident or illness, or expenses you have incurred because of the accident or illness can be included as part of your claim.

These may include lost wages (including overtime, bonuses, pension rights); travelling expenses (eg for attending medical appointments); prescriptions; pain killers; private medical treatment (eg physiotherapy or scans); cost of repair/replacement of damaged property (including your car); the cost of private care or the equivalent value of care given by family members.  This element of the claim can run into £1,000s if you have been unable to work.
