How much might I get?
By working with The Personal Injury Guide, we will ensure you receive the best compensation possible. We can commit to this as we work with every client on an individual basis - we take the time to understand you, the chain of events which led to your accident or illness, and by doing so, we are in the strongest possible position to fight for appropriate compensation. Some firms might only want to take details from you via the internet but we feel that our personal approach pays real dividends in terms of the quality of our service and ultimately the compensation you receive.
Beware of the 'bulk' accident claim companies who equate physical injuries with a price tag. In our experience, there is no such thing as a straightforward accident and to every story there will be two (or more!) sides. These firms rely on a high volume of transactions and may not be willing to represent you if things aren't as cut and dried as they would like. Sometimes you may never even speak to the person who is looking after your interests. We treat every client as more than a statistic or a case number, believing that any innocent victim is entitled to respect, understanding and the compensation to which they are entitled. We also understand that mental scars can take longer than the physical to heal and that the ramifications of injury or illness can have an impact not just on the victim, but also on their family and carers.
You might have already tried securing an admission of guilt or compensation from an employer or the person/authority who injured you and been fobbed off by their legal representatives, telling you you don't have grounds for a claim. If so, it might be worth trying again with The Personal Injury Guide on your side. Sometimes it's amazing what a letter or call from us can achieve with our tenacious track record and our ability to see the big picture.
Bearing in mind each case is judged individually, here are some ballpark figures as to compensation awards which have been made recently:
- Whiplash up to £5,000
- Industrial hearing loss up to £15,000
- Broken Arm up to £10,000
- Broken Wrist up to £6,000
- Fractured Leg up to £20,000
- Sprained Ankle up to £2,500
Remember, we guarantee you will receive 100% of all compensation awarded, as our legal fees are settled by the other side's insurer.
On top of these figures, your settlement should also provide suitable recompense for:
- Loss of income
- Travel expenses (especially if you haven't been able to drive or have had to pay for transport to and from hospital or medical appointments)
- Therapies such as physiotherapy or counselling
- Additional care or extra help at home
As well as being damaging to your well-being, injury or ill health can also be damaging to your pocket. The Personal Injury Guide takes all of these factors into account when negotiating your financial compensation.
