\"\"Now, you may think \u2013 what does the above title mean when it says \u2018losses<\/em><\/strong>\u2019.\u00a0 Well, for any personal injury claim there is compensation<\/a> amount that can be awarded for your injury, and there is a separate claim for your losses.\u00a0 These losses are applied for separately to your injury compensation and are compiled in a Schedule of Loss<\/em><\/strong>. It is important that from the outset after your accident that you keep any receipts for costs that have been incurred as a result of your accident. This helps to support and evidence any losses claimed for a potential personal injury claim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The items of loss which can be included in this Schedule of Loss I have listed below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Loss of Earnings<\/strong> \u2013 this can be one of the most important items in a claimant\u2019s schedule.\u00a0\u00a0 If you are employed\/self -employed and have had time off work due to your accident then you may be entitled to claim for this item of loss<\/strong>. If you are an employed person then a solicitor would usually ask for 13 weeks of pay slips prior to the accident.\u00a0 Your loss of earning is then calculated at an average of these wage slips.\u00a0 If you are self \u2013 employed, a solicitor would usually ask you for 3 years profit and loss accounts and calculate the average this way.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. Treatment costs<\/strong> \u2013 many clients come to us at The Injury Lawyers<\/a> with a claim and enquire about treatment. If we accept the claim, we can organise private medical treatment at no cost to our client. This treatment can include physiotherapy, chiropractic, or osteopathic (and more) treatment. The costs can then be claimed back from the other side if you win, or can be covered by insurance if you lose<\/strong>.\u00a0 This not only means you can get private treatment at no cost, but also that you do not need to queue on an NHS waiting list \u2013 even if the case loses<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. Care and assistance<\/strong> \u2013 If you have required the assistance of a carer, family, or friends in duties such as caring for yourself, cleaning, cooking, shopping or washing clothes (this list is not exhaustive), and this was a result of your accident, then you may be entitled to claim this back at an hourly rate.\u00a0 It must be of note that due to the nature of this claim, you may not get the full amount of which you ask<\/strong> \u2013 but at least you get a little extra.<\/li>\n
  4. Other items of loss can include travel expenses<\/strong>, medication prescription costs<\/strong>, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
