Personal Injury law - Personal Injury Compensation and Settlement
Certain cases of personal injury involve extraordinary medical bills - therefore, personal injury compensation seeks to assist victims in coping with added financial pressures for the duration of the injury. For this reason, it is vital to engage the services of an accredited specialist personal injury lawyer.
Money awarded to you as compensation is called ‘damages’. Depending on the degree of seriousness of the injury / accident, the compensation awarded varies greatly. The following factors are considered when calculating the value of personal injury claims:
- Compensation for economic loss (loss of earnings, cost of medical expenses)
- Compensation for non-economic losses (general damages, including anguish caused by disfigurement, pain and suffering)
- Compensation for past and future care
We understand the needs created by serious accidents and personal injury, and the best ways to ensure insurance companies meet their obligations in the form of compensation.
