Compensation is usually made up of two main parts.

The first part covers pain, suffering and loss of amenity. This reflects the injury itself and the impact it has had on your day to day life, mobility, sleep, hobbies, driving, work and general wellbeing.

The second part covers financial losses. This can include lost earnings, treatment costs, rehabilitation, travel expenses, care, vehicle damage, hire vehicle costs and other expenses linked to the accident.

The value of the claim will depend on the medical evidence, the seriousness of the injuries, the recovery period and the financial losses that can be proven.
