What type of compensation am I entitled to claim?
Your compensation award will include two types of damages:
• General damages: these I intend to cover your pain and suffering, both physical and emotional. The severity of your injury will therefore be crucial in determining this figure.
• Special damages: these should reimburse you for your financial losses. Your injury may require you to take a length period of time off work and as a result you will lose income. Furthermore, you may run up high travel costs as a result of your trips to and from the hospital for treatment. If the accident was not your fault, it is not fair for you to suffer the financial consequences.
Your medical expenses can also be easily calculated. Simply bring the receipts for any medicines, drugs or prescriptions and your solicitor can work to recover the costs.
If your injury has forced you into taking time off work and you have lost earnings as a result, it is important that your loss can be verified and calculated. You must therefore provide 13 weeks of payslips exhibiting your earnings prior to the incident, as well as any payslips received after the accident in order to demonstrate any subtractions.
If you are self employed, a copy of your accounts for the year of the accident as well as the 3 years beforehand will be needed. Such documents can easily be misplaced, so don’t worry if you cannot find them, your accountant or employer will usually have a copy.
How our solicitors can help to prove your injury claim
In order to successfully claim compensation you must be able to prove that you suffered physically and financially and that this was directly caused by the action of the third party. Obtaining a detailed medical report from a medical expert explaining the extent of your injuries, any rehabilitation program required and the potential future costs is therefore essential.
Our lawyers will be able to put you in touch with a respected medical expert who will add validity to your claim and we will also navigate a path for your claim through the complex and bureaucratic claims system.
Thinking of making a personal injury claim? Don’t delay
In almost all cases you will have to make the personal injury claim within three years of the accident happening. However, the earlier you do it the better. Your solicitor will have to do a large amount of work regarding the case before the Court proceedings start. Additionally, you are likely to remember more details after a couple of months that you would after a couple of years. Witnesses, important documents and other evidence can disappear if you leave a couple of years between the accident and the claim.
