When we speak to clients some of the most popular questions are how much is my claim worth? And how long will it take to get my claim sorted? The honest answer to both of the above questions is we don’t know, we can give you a rough estimate to both of them but it entirely depends on the type of claim and what evidence we need to make the claim a success.

When gathering evidence to link a client’s injury to an accident it may be that we need to look at their medical records, this means requesting them from the NHS, and may take a few months for them to come through. The length of an average compensation claim is usually about seven months but this can be more or less depending on the cooperation of the other side.

The question about how much a claim is worth depends on a number of factors, we have to look at how it has effected you as an individual so we’ll look at your loss of earnings, whether you require the care of another to do day-to-day tasks and any medical expenses you have paid out. We also have to look at your medical records to see if any past health problems may have worsened any injuries.

Although we can never give you a definite estimate of how much a claim is worth until we have seen sufficient evidence, it is helpful for you to get a rough idea. If you visit www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk our homepage has a compensation calculator. If you click on the area of the body that you have injured it will give you an estimate to what your claim could be worth.

A minor whiplash injury is usually estimated at around £2000, which now-a-days, especially with the recession is a lot of money and would help you get back on your feet, and that’s the minimum amount that may be paid out.
