Compensation levels for personal injury claims vary depending on your injury and every case is different.

The compensation will reflect:

Your pain and suffering.
The impact that the personal injury has on your life.
Future losses, e.g. if you’re unable to return to work, need nursing care or help at home.
Any direct financial losses you suffer, such as lost earnings or medical expenses.
There are guidelines for compensation and claim amounts.
