How is your compensation calculated?

Calculating the amount of your compensation can be a very involved process. It is determined by a number of factors, including:

• the seriousness of your injury or illness; and
• how it has affected your life, otherwise known as ‘loss of amenity’; and
• the amount of the financial losses you have suffered to date; and
• the amount of help you will require in the future; and
• the amount of any future financial losses.

Your specialist solicitor will spend considerable time ensuring that we claim everything you are entitled to.

Each of us is different and the financial consequences of the same injury or illness can vary greatly from person to person.
