If you have been hurt in a non-fault accident and want to know the level of compensation you might receive, our 'Personal Injury Claims Calculator' will help you assess which bracket of 'general damages' your compensation payout is likely to fall into, depending on the location and severity of your injuries and providing an estimate of your compensation value.
Depending on the severity of your injuries, and if recovery is still at an early stage, it may be difficult to determine how long you might suffer and if there will be any long-term effects on your quality of life, or ability to work. Injuries with long term impacts warrant higher compensation amounts.
Special damages may also be awarded as part of your final compensation settlement. Special damages do not form any part of the values indicated in any area of our Personal Injury Claims Calculator.
If you think you are entitled to claim compensation, contact us to arrange a more in-depth conversation with an expert personal injury solicitor to verify the strength of your claim and see how we can help.

Please remember these Injury Compensation Claim Settlement values are provided as guidelines only and are taken from the Judicial College Guidelines surrounding general damages for pain and suffering. *New Regulations governing compensation settlement values for 'Soft Tissue Injury (Whiplash) sustained due to a car accident come into force on 016/06/2021, (see directly below for more information).
My case was handled in a courteous and professional manner from beginning to end. I was kept informed throughout and the settlement obtained was very satisfactory.
Thank you very much. I never believed I would receive such a large sum of money. Your service is friendly and impeccable and I would certainly recommend you, in fact I already have.
I found PSR solicitors very help full and professional in their handling of my claim and would recommend the firm to any one.
The figures detailed above are non-negotiable, they are a set tariff which the government has introduced. Compensation awards for soft tissue injuries resulting from a car accident are now approximately only 25% of the value of compensation awards made for accidents before the 1st of June 2021.
Personal injury clients will be sent for a medical examination where the examiner will indicate a likely recovery period. The Medical expert decides and records in his report - the fixed amount of compensation you will receive.
Please note that this only applies to soft tissue injuries following a car accident that occurred after the 1st of June 2021.
An award for personal injury compensation is based upon a number of factors, namely what type and degree of injury you have suffered, what effect this has on your immediate and future life, and capacity for work. The duration taken to recover, if indeed full recovery is even possible are also critical factors that need considerations.
The Personal Injury Claim Calculator tool above covers only provisional guidelines surrounding 'general damages'. In addition to 'general damages' and depending on your circumstances, the severity of your injuries, and their lasting effects on your life, there may be other losses and expenses to calculate. Our Personal Injury Solicitors are best placed to advise on these details.
In assessing your claim, medical evidence will be required from a specialist to help address these factors and will allow your personal injury lawyer to place a valuation bracket on your claim. There is no exact figure for any type of injury, everyone is different and everyone recovers at their own pace, so personal injury solicitors and judges allocate a bracket and then determine where in that bracket your compensation should be.
It is natural that we aim for the top of the bracket for our clients, while insurers for the people or organisation responsible for your injury tend to aim for the bottom.
Sometimes negotiations with the liable party's representatives can reach an agreement as to the value of the compensation settlement, and we would advise you as a client if we feel this is adequate. If not, your case will proceed to court, where we argue your case as to why the final compensation pay out for your injury claim should be higher than what the defendants insurers have offered.
If you have been injured in an accident and you want free advice on how much compensation your claim is worth from a fully qualified personal injury solicitor then please contact us today to talk to one of our team.

The total work injury Claim compensation settlement amount is usually allocated in two separate parts, General and Special damages:
General Damages are paid to compensate you for post-accident pain and suffering experienced as a result of your accident-related injuries and any loss of amenity. They will also take into account the traumatic nature of the accident itself.
At the first stage, it’s very important for us to address your immediate well-being and healthcare needs. We must also start the process of evaluating the level of general damages matching your injury. This will be achieved by instructing a medical expert to both assess you physically and to prepare a report for your accident-related claim.
The expert will be given a full copy of your GP records which we will request in confidence. The medical expert may recommend treatment that will assist your recovery for which the insurers of the person responsible for causing your accident may be asked to pay.
The medical expert will advise us on the degree of your injuries and any likely ongoing effects caused by your injury.
Where significant injuries are sustained, the impact on your future life cannot always be known immediately and in some cases not even for a long period of time. The Medial experts will also consider whether any pre-existing health conditions have been heightened by your accident.
Subject to what the report says, we will be more likely to accurately advise you of your general damage claim value. This will be assessed from the date of the accident to the date of recovery (or estimated date of recovery) if you have not yet fully recovered.
Financial loss or additional outlay, such as loss of earnings or bills for additional medical treatments and therapies will be covered by Special damages. In severe cases, special damages will need to cover modifications to your home or vehicle and unfortunately where people suffer life-changing injury, possibly even the provision of round-the-clock care.
Personal care including school runs or friends/relatives supporting you in daily life, housework undertaken by friends and/or relatives as a direct result of your injuries accidents, prescriptions and/or medicines you have paid for, such as painkillers or any other medical items. Travel expenses based on bus or taxi fares to the Hospital, Doctor or to see your Solicitor and telephone bills, damage to clothing or any other personal effects will also be taken into account.
Some of these items may seem inconsequential at a time when your only thought should be that of recovery, but they can all add up to place a further burden on you or your family, through no fault of your own.
As such, and as our case progresses, we will work with you to describe how much you have been inconvenienced as a direct result of your accident.
In order to support the ‘special damages’ aspect of your claim, you would be required to provide us with various documents including copies of your wage slips and receipts for items paid. Therefore it’s very important for you to keep copies of all receipts and information to support you with your claim.
We would also require details of any activities (even if they are only minor) such as driving, going upstairs, cooking, cleaning, and washing which you have been unable to do because of your accident. Providing details of care provided, as trivial as it may sound, will undoubtedly support your case in this situation.
As a result of having numerous injuries in an accident, which are defined as being injuries to different parts of the body that happen as a result of a single accident or neglectful act, can have a shattering effect on the injured person’s life.
Therefore, the calculations for compensation surrounding multiple injuries are calculated on each case individually and will take into account the influence that the injuries have had altogether on your life. Multiple injury claims are considerably more complex, which in turn could take longer to process, depending on recovery time and the severity of the multiple injury accident.
For a specific type of accident, one of the following compensation calculators may be more of use to you:
