Claiming compensation for a life-changing injury
You could be entitled to claim compensation for a life-changing injury, and this kind of legal case is usually treated differently to most standard personal injury compensation claims. A life-changing injury will, of course, have much more of a significant impact on the victim, so it is essential to make sure that any compensation package meets the needs of the claimant.
In a claim, you can recover damages for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused, and you can also claim losses and expenses incurred. The injury side is known as General Damages and the amounts are usually payable based on case law and guidelines that are used based on the injury suffered. However, in the case of a life-changing injury, the more prominent part is sometimes the losses and expenses side of things, known as Special Damages. This part of the case is designed to make sure that any incidental losses and expenses are covered, which in a claim of this nature can be considerable.
An easy example is lost earnings. If an injury stops you from being able to work at all, you could be eligible to recover compensation for lost earnings for the rest of your life, including any pension payments. If you are still able to work but your trade results in you not being able to attain a salary as good as it was, we could claim for any offset loss instead.
We also may need to look at things such as private treatment or private surgery if this is going to help you, and we may need to look at care expenses claims if you are going to need help for the rest of your life. We could recover expenses to cover you for the rest of your life to make sure that you have ongoing payments and support when you have been injured and suffered catastrophic injuries through no fault of your own.
Getting the right expert lawyers on your side
Given that serious injury compensation cases must account for the suffering that could affect a person for the rest of their life, it is vital that you get expert lawyers on your side.
