    What can I claim for?

    A compensation claim can be made for pain and suffering, loss of income, damaged possessions and many other expenses incurred because of the accident. In certain circumstances your solicitor may also be able to arrange for you to have an interim payment if required.

    Compensation for injury

    A compensation claim can be made for injuries sustained and for pain and suffering. How much your claim will be worth varies significantly depending on the nature and extent of your injuries, but your specialist lawyer will talk you through this.

    Loss of earnings

    In addition to claiming compensation for your normal wages, you may have lost out on potential overtime, bonuses or commission because of your injuries. You can claim for all of these if they relate to the accident.

    Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs

    This includes things like prescription costs, the cost of buying equipment to help in your rehabilitation, and the cost of private medical treatment if you have to ‘go private’.

    Travel expenses

    That could be, for instance, taxis or public transport to hospital appointments.

    Damaged clothing and personal items

    Sometimes, personal belongings and clothing can be damaged in an accident. You may be able to claim for these too.

    Interim payments

    Interim payments may be available in certain circumstances. We understand that an accident can cause financial hardship to the injured person and their family. Our solicitors will always try to secure interim payments where needed.
