Q: How much compensation will I get for certain injuries?

A: Compensation amounts vary a great deal because injuries affect people in different ways. Some recover quickly, others don't. Injuries are valued by making comparisons with awards in similar cases, and adjusting them as required. There is no fixed tariff because that could work unfairly. Once we have put you in touch with a local personal injury solicitor, they will be able to give you some guidelines about what you might expect to receive if you win your claim. See our Compensation Guide for example amounts. The amount in this guide is only for your injuries, pain and suffering. Other losses, for example loss of earnings or treatment costs, will be paid in addition.
