\"\"Many potential claimants out there may be aware that they are entitled to compensation<\/a> for their injuries – it may be advertising for personal injury claiming<\/a> that is responsible for that, or just the increased awareness of your right to make a claim. However, many claimants that approach The Injury Lawyers<\/a> remain unaware of the financial losses they may be entitled to claim as l a result of their accident.<\/p>\n

In order to discover what losses you may be entitled to, the simplest question to ask your self is \u2018if I had not had the accident, would I be in a better position financially?<\/strong>\u2019 If the answer to this is yes then you should ask yourself why that is – I have set out below a few possible suggestions as to areas of loss you may have incurred due to your accident:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Loss of earnings<\/strong> \u2013 if you have been absent from work as a result of your accident, and been on reduced pay or been left unpaid, then you may have a claim for lost earnings. \u00a0Your loss of earnings claim is calculated from an average of 13 weeks pay slips prior to the date of the accident – so these would need to be kept safe or requested from your employer. If you are self- employed, the average is calculated from 3 years profit and loss accounts.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. Treatment costs<\/strong> \u2013 if you have incurred any losses through paying for expensive private treatment as a result of your accident, this may also be an item of loss which you can claim back.<\/li>\n
  3. Travel costs<\/strong> \u2013 if you have paid for travel costs as a result of your accident, for example for travel to and from medical appointments, then you may be able to claim for this as well. A solicitor would ask you for any travel receipts or documents to support your claim \u2013 or work out a mileage rate reflective of the distance travelled.<\/li>\n
  4. Medication and \/ or prescription costs<\/strong> \u2013 prescription and medication can be costly; especially when you need it frequently. Keep receipts as evidence, and we can look to claim these back for you.<\/li>\n
  5. Other losses<\/strong> \u2013 you may have purchased a special mattress on the advice of a medical expert in order to assist with your injury symptoms, or similar. Items such as these may also be claimed back as part of your claim.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There are items that you can claim back which you may have not even considered, as they have not caused you a direct financial loss. An example of this is care and assistance<\/strong>.\u00a0 If you have required the assistance of a carer, which may have been a professional carer or even a family member or friend, you may claim back their time at an hourly rate. Any payment received for this is payable to the carer\/carers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you require any further information regarding your losses feel free to give us a call<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
