Injury Claims Compensation Guide
In our hectic lives, there are many types of accidents that can occur.
Whether we are taking part in a sport, driving our vehicles, doing our job or simply walking down the street, we are surrounded by hazards that could cause us serious personal injury each and every day. Luckily, the majority of us manage to make it through most days without incident, but for some their luck is not so good.
Accidents that result in personal injury can be traumatic and not just in terms of the pain and suffering caused. Added hassle and expense through taking time off work, attending doctor’s appointments or obtaining medication can all add up to a major impact on our lifestyles, families and bank balances. If the accident was not our fault, it is our right to seek injury compensation to help lessen the burden these inconveniences can have.
Many injury compensation claims can be pursued on a no win no fee basis
Many of us are more concerned with justice being done, the amounts we can expect to receive for certain types of injury can be substantial. As an example, one of the most common claims relating to road traffic accidents is a whiplash claim. For these types of injury claims compensation payouts can be in the region of £750 – £4,000 for a minor injury and as much as £8,000 – £85,000 for severe whiplash injury.
Head injuries are another common case in the injury compensation claims courts.
Head injuries that result in a minor brain injury such as bruising or minor bleeding expect to pay out in the region of £23,000. People unfortunate enough to suffer moderate brain injury can be paid up to £120,000 and those with severe brain injury as much as £220,000.
As for broken bones, injury claims compensation payouts for fractured arms are between £1,000 – £3,000 and for broken ankles are in the region of £7,000 – £14,000. Broken fingers can claim for injury compensation of around £2,000 and more severe damage to hands and fingers can result in a claim payment of as much as £110,000. Loss of limbs such as legs or arms can pay up to £160,000 depending on the type of injury.
All injury claims are dealt with on a case-by-case basis and these figures are for illustration only. If you think you may be entitled to make a claim, then get in touch with a no win no fee solicitor to discuss your situation, as you will have nothing to lose by taking that first step.
