Personal injuries are suffered by millions of people every year – injuries that have occurred through no fault of their own. Many of those injured might be debating whether or not to make a claim for personal injury, and I have seen the difference that personal injury compensation can make in someone's life. If you have been injured through no fault of your own then and are considering making a claim then here are some tips for you.
How much you may receive
Every personal injury claim is different, so the amount you can expect to receive if you win will depend on:
- The cost of your treatment including carers.
- Loss of earnings.
- Missed holidays or day trips.
Plus many more!
What you can claim for
There are so many ways that a personal injury can happen, so here are some things that you can claim for:
- A workplace accident
- A psychological illness caused by stress at work
- Road traffic accidents
- Injuries sustained due to faulty goods
- An accident in a public place
- Injuries sustained from tripping over paving stones
