The amount of compensation is usually directly proportional to the extent of injury that the pursuer has suffered. This generally means, the more severe your injury, the higher the amount of compensation you would expect to receive. For example, soft tissue damage would not receive the same level of compensation for severe brain damage. Your personal injury solicitor will calculate an approximate figure based on two factors – the severity of your injury and any mental and emotional repercussions of the injury. If you haven’t already found a solicitor, then please contact us to speak with one of ours. An initial consultation is free, and there’s no obligation to use our legal firm following the consultation. The following kinds of personal injury compensation will allow you to get a basic understanding of how this is done so that you can calculate a rough estimate of your personal injury claim.
