Personal Injury Damages
Filing a personal injury claim without a knowledgeable barrister on your side can be a confusing and daunting task. It is important to first understand what compensation the victim may be entitled to if they choose to file a claim and then begin to construct a robust argument for your case.
Commonly, damages may be considered compensatory and non-compensatory also known as special and general damages.
Compensatory, or special damages, are out-of-pocket expenses you may have incurred or lost as a result of your injury. Compensatory damages include:
- Lost Wages
- Medical Bills
- Loss of Opportunity
- Property Damage
General damages, also known as non-compensatory, are those that do not necessarily have monetary value, such as:
- Loss of Consortium
- Loss of Enjoyment & Quality of Life
- Pain and Suffering
- Emotional Distress
General damages are now always awarded and there is typically a cap which is indexed by inflation. Speaking with an experienced London personal injury barrister can help you determine what damages you may be entitled to make claim for.
