The Justice system in the UK is set up to ensure the rights of innocent injured victims. In order to ensure a fair system there are general guidelines as to what you can and cannot claim for.
Compensation can be claimed for the following:
Pain and suffering from the injury caused by the accident. This includes both the initial injury and any ongoing suffering or disability that may have occurred.
Loss of the ‘enjoyment of life’ may be quantified and compensated for. This might include activities that were participated in prior to accident that can no longer be enjoyed, a dance class for example.
Disadvantage on the labour market. This might mean compensating for reduced earnings due to the injury. This figure may be very high if you are no longer able to work.
