The value of your accident at work claim will depend on a number of things. It will depend on what injury you’ve sustained, how long it’s gone on for and what other losses you’ve also incurred. For example, for a knee injury that recovers fairly quickly you’re potentially looking in the region of about £5,000. However, there’s then brackets of that where the knee injury gets more and more severe, all the way up to serious knee injuries. Which involves damaged ligaments and risks of osteoarthritis, loss of movement and restriction and things like that, where you could be looking at in the region of between £60,000 and £90,000. So it’s very difficult to tell often at the early stage, however it’s something that we might be able to give you an idea of. It’s difficult if you’ve only just had your accident and you’re not sure on how recovery is going to go, but we can keep an eye on that as your claim progresses. In addition to that loss, which is called your General Damages, you’ve also got your Special Damages which relates to your out-of-pocket expenses. Such as loss of earnings, care and assistance, travel, all those sorts of things which would be in addition to the other figures mentioned earlier if you had a bad knee injury. It’s something that we can help you with and we can have a chat about the value of the claim right from the off, however it’s really difficult to pin it down until we know how you are going to recover. But it’s something that we know we can keep an eye on and push your claim forwards whilst you’re still recovering from your injuries and determine the true value of your claim once we’ve obtained all of the medical evidence required. You might want to check out some of our other videos where we talk about General Damages and Special Damages specifically, so that you can understand those better and how to prove those losses more efficiently.
