\"\"We, like many other lawyers out there, have our own personal injury calculator<\/em><\/strong> on our website that has been there to help accident victims get an idea as to what they could be entitled to claim for in compensation<\/a> for years. \u00a0Whilst the calculator can be useful, it has its numerous limitations \u2013 so, here\u2019s a quick guide to fill you in<\/em><\/strong> on how it works:<\/p>\n

How Does it Value My Claim?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, firstly, it\u2019s important to understand that I\u2019m basing this on our own calculator \u2013 as many others out there could be different. Out calculator provides you with brackets and figures based on official guidelines<\/em><\/strong> that we, as specialist injury lawyers<\/a>, actually use <\/em><\/strong>when we value our own clients claims. The figures come from the JSB (Judicial Studies Board) Guidelines, which are guidelines set out to assist lawyers and insurers when it comes to agreeing settlement for a claim.
\n
\nFor example, here are the brackets for neck injuries (such as whiplash<\/a>)<\/em><\/strong> according to the official guidelines:<\/p>\n

Minor Whiplash Injuries \u2013 \u00a3875 to \u00a35,150<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moderate Whiplash Injuries – \u00a35,150 to \u00a316,400<\/strong><\/p>\n

Severe Whiplash Injuries – \u00a397,000! <\/strong><\/p>\n

The breakdown of the category your injury fits in to is based on what you put in to the calculator. If you put that it\u2019s a minor injury, it will give you the brackets and figures for a minor injury. If you put that it\u2019s a moderate injury, you will receive the brackets and figures for a moderate injury. This, however, is where the limitations can sneak in, as you probably have no idea as to which bracket your injury falls in to.<\/p>\n

What Category (Minor, Moderate, Severe) is my Injury?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Truthful answer<\/em> \u2013 I haven\u2019t got a clue! In fact, no one can really tell you unless you have an appointment with a fully qualified medico-legal expert<\/em><\/strong>. This is the only way to value your claim for compensation<\/em><\/strong>. The expert will provide a report which will outline the information needed for your lawyer to value the claim. Your lawyer, using their experience, knowledge, case law (previous and similar cases to yours), coupled with JSB Guidelines, will provide you with the valuation as to how much the claim is worth.<\/p>\n

So, How Do I Get the MAXIMUM Amount Payable?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is only one way to guarantee that you will receive the maximum amount of compensation<\/em><\/strong> that you are legally entitled to recover \u2013 by instructing a specialist firm of fully qualified expert personal injury lawyers<\/em><\/strong> to act on your behalf. Choose a firm that deals only with injury claims<\/strong>, and you should be dealing with the experts. Choose a firm with a proven track record of happy client testimonials<\/em><\/strong>, and a history of specialising in claims for injury.<\/p>\n

Make sure you get a law firm working on a Genuine No Win No Fee<\/a><\/em><\/strong> basis that guarantees you 100% compensation<\/em><\/strong> if you win your claim, and absolutely no costs<\/em><\/strong> if you lose. In actual fact, there should be no costs for you to pay at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
