How much compensation will I get?
How much compensation will I get for my injuries?
To give you an approximate idea of the amount of compensation you can expect to receive, we have compiled a list of the most common injuries we deal with, to give you an idea of the amount you may be awarded for different types of accident.
These figures are for general damages only. Other financial losses such as special damages, future losses and interest, may be paid in addition. Once we have assessed your claim we will be able to make a more realistic estimate of how much you are likely to receive.
