What Compensation ?
Each claim for compensation will vary according to the seriousness of the injury and the losses incurred as a direct result of the road traffic accident.
Compensation is awarded for the following :
Pain and Suffering
The amount of compensation is based upon medical evidence of injuries sustained in the road traffic accident, the pain and suffering caused and also how your injury has affected you now and the likely effect it will have on you in the future.
Financial Losses
The financial losses you incur are also included in the compensation award. This is to ensure that you return to the same position financially as you would have been in had you not been injured in the road traffic accident.
- General Expenses – Costs relating to the accident may be claimed. For example; the cost of travel for treatment, the cost of prescriptions, non prescription drugs, damage to clothing etc.
