Personal Injury Compensation Amounts


Personal injury compensation awards tend to vary tremendously because no two accidents or injuries are the same.  The amount of compensation awarded for pain and suffering following any type of injury usually depends on the severity of the injury, the recovery period and also the long term effects of the injury.

There is also consideration to costs such as medical treatment costs, loss of earnings and possible loss of livelihood that may have incurred as a result of the accident.

In many cases several claims may be made for more than one type of injury sustained in the same accident.  For example someone injured seeking compensation for a road traffic accident may be claiming compensation for injuries including whiplash, cuts and bruises, post traumatic stress, loss of earnings through to loss of limbs and severe head injuries. A person receiving compensation for a slip, trip or fall may be claiming compensation for anything from a sprained ankle, a leg or arm injury to potential loss of earnings.

Whatever the injury Clough and Willis Solicitors will ensure that your compensation claim effectively covers all the injuries that may have occurred from an accident that was clearly not your fault.

From first contact to the last, everyone has been very professional and reassuring through what has been an emotional and stressful time for us and without the help of your company it would have been much more difficult for me and my husband.

Lorraine, I would just like to say "thank you very much" for all your hard work and assistance in the letting of the above property. The negotiations were somewhat protracted, due to a breakdown on my client's side, and I feel that your persistence and hard work led to the eventual lease completion. I look forward to working with you in the near future. Kind regards, Neil Higson, for and on behalf of Nolan Redshaw Ltd
