As with any case where financial compensation is sought, the main consideration will be to compare the life of the victim and their immediate family before and after the accident.
In making this comparison our lawyers will seek to steer the court to settle on a figure which is commensurate with all costs incurred, any financial losses and expected future costs directly attributable to the accident and injuries suffered.
The main items for consideration would likely be:
• Loss of earnings (to include the victim and any family members who provide care)
• Medical costs
• Modifications to the home and transport (modified car for example)
• On-going care provision
• Any equipment required to enhance independent living
The above list is not exhaustive, as each case is unique and complex. This is where the right lawyer can make all the difference.
