Personal Injury Compensation Guide - What could your claim be worth?

The compensation amounts outlined in the diagram below have been taken from the Guidelines for the Assessment of General Damages in Personal Injury Cases – Seventeenth Edition. The compensation amounts vary significantly and will depend on the severity of your injury or injuries. Any damages awarded will also depend on the length of time it takes for you to fully recover or recover to the best of your ability. It’s important to remember that everybody’s injury is different, so these figures should be viewed as offering an idea of what you might potentially be awarded, rather than being an exact amount.
