You are entitled to compensation for your physical and emotional injuries and your financial losses. Collectively the money that you receive if known as your "damages".
There are two types of damages.
Firstly, "general damages" for your pain, suffering and loss of amenity which compensates you for your physical and emotional injury. We will be able to advise you how much your injury claim is worth once we have received the doctor's final medical report.
Secondly, your claim for "special damages" compensates you for your financial losses. These might include loss of earnings, travel expenses, prescription and medication costs, private medical treatments and money that you need to pay other people to look after you or with things around the house.
Before settling your claim we will produce a detailed schedule of all of your financial losses and present this to either the insurance company or the court. It is vital that you help us with this and are able to provide us with as much information and documentary proof as possible, such as your payslips. It would be useful if you could keep a careful note of when you make visits to your doctor, hospital, physiotherapist or anywhere else - apart from the DIY store!
