No amount of money can make up for suffering an injury through no fault of your own. However, the justice system does what it can to make up for accident victims’ pain, suffering and losses through financial compensation.

While no two cases are ever the same, it’s important to have some consistency in the level of payments awarded. To do this, the courts turn to the Judicial College Guidelines, which form the basis of the figures given here. It’s very important that they are only used to give a very general “ballpark” figure of what any given individual will be able to recover for their injuries.

The categories provided are by their nature very broad and cover only a few very specific circumstances. The descriptions are generally of cases at the upper level of injury in each category. Assessing multiple injuries can be especially complex. In addition, there are many other factors to take into account when assessing the value of a claim, including loss of earnings, the costs of medical treatment and care and compensation for things you now have to pay for or are no longer able to do.

For a more accurate assessment of what your claim might be worth, please make an appointment for a personal consultation with one of our experienced and highly trained team of personal injury lawyers.
