Can I make a claim?

• within the last three years, and;
• another person was to blame, and;
• that person owed you a duty of care.

Are there any other factors that could affect my right to claim?

How much compensation can I claim for an injury?

The amount of money you could claim for your injury will depend on:

• the extent of your injury, and
• any financial losses or costs you have incurred.

At the start of your claim, your solicitor will consider the many ways your injury has affected your life. Your solicitor will take all of these effects into account to calculate the correct compensation award for you.

This calculation will factor in 'general damages' and 'special damages'.

General damages

General damages are awarded for pain, suffering and loss of amenity (PSLA).

Awards for general damages are set by the Judicial College and published in their guidelines for personal injury awards.

Special damages

Special damages are for financial losses and expenses you have incurred as a result of the accident.

What can I claim for after an injury? (see list)

Examples of special damages (losses you can claim for) include:

• Lost earnings (including future earnings)
• Medical treatment costs
• Physiotherapy
• Travel costs
• Costs of care
• Costs of adapting your home or car

Other claim types

Public place accidents

Officially reported statistics expose the fact that employee slips, trips and falls are the most prevalent cause of injury at work in Yorkshire and the UK as a whole. Slips and trips are frequently the precursor to accidents recorded in another category, such as being hit by moving machinery or a lake drowning accident. Public place (Hambleton local authority) negligence claims injuries like sprained ankles occurring on raised flagstones are also quite prevalent with street trips having occurred on Main Street and on Fairfields Drive.
