Personal Injury Compensation Amounts
|
Personal injury compensation awards tend to vary because no two accidents or injuries are the same. The amount of compensation award for pain and suffering following any type of injury usually depends on a number of factors. Consideration is usually given to the injuries severity, recovery period and long term effects. There is also consideration to costs such as the costs incurred as a result of the accident or treatment.
So while we can’t be specific we can give you a rough idea of the compensation awards for different types of injury. In many cases several claims may be made within these categories. For example someone injured in a road traffic accident claiming whip lash may also claim post traumatic stress etc.
