There is no fixed amount for an accident claim, as compensation depends on the injury’s severity, recovery, impact on daily life and who was legally responsible. It may include general damages for pain and suffering, plus losses such as earnings, treatment costs, travel expenses and care. Solicitors may use the Judicial College Guidelines alongside medical evidence when valuing the injury, but these figures are only guidance. For an individual estimate, consider speaking to a solicitor regulated by the SRA after reviewing the circumstances and evidence.
