These can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lost earnings from time off work. We use your wage slips (pr accounts details if you are self employed) to work out the loss<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Treatment and medical expenses \u2013 although we can normally sort out on private physiotherapy and get it funded by the other side without you needing to pay anything upfront anyway.
