Have I got a claim for injury compensation?
If you suffered an injury in the last three years and another party was at fault, Quittance's panel of solicitors can help you make a compensation 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

What are the criteria for making a claim?
Claims should, in most cases, be made within three years.
In order to successfully win an injury claim, it should be demonstrated that:
- The defendant owed you a duty of care
- The defendant breached that duty
- Your injury or illness was caused by that breach
The lawyer can take you through these key points and will look at how they apply in your case.
