You should bear in mind that any compensation award is going to be dependent on the severity of the injuries sustained in any accident. These applicable levels are looked at in this article.
If you have been involved in an accident which was not your fault, personal injury solicitors are worth serious consideration. This is because, if you do have a strong case, the firm should be able to take your case on, on a no win no fee basis. This obviously means zero risk to you financially, but could mean that you have much to gain.
If you are successful in securing some sort of compensation award, you must remember that the level of damages will be proportionate to the seriousness of the injuries suffered. So, for example, if you have only sustained minor injuries, you can only expect to be awarded a low level of compensation in recognition of this. Compensation head injury claims however, can be awarded much more. Here are some set payment levels for what may be considered to be less serious injuries:
? Fracture of one finger: you could expect to receive a payout of between £1,000 and £2,000
£3,000-£7,000 can be obtained for a simple leg fracture
? A sprained back: the award level is between £1,000 and £6,000 here, dependent on the seriousness of each individual case.
Of course though, the above amounts of money can mean a huge difference to people that may have suffered financial hardship as a result of the accident. Personal injury solicitors become vital in obtaining as much compensation as possible; after all a few thousand pounds can mean the difference between paying off your rent or mortgage arrears.
Payment award levels increase accordingly to the severity of the injury. During the process the solicitor not only needs to reimburse the claimant for any suffering they may have already endured but must also look into any future financial difficulties that may arise. Also, take into consideration that there are different types of specialised solicitors for different types of accidents. if you are involved in a road traffic accident you will need a brain injury solicitor or a head injury solicitor. Here are some payment levels that could be expected for the most serious types of injuries:
? Quadriplegia: Here there is a set level of between £160,000 to £200,000
Between £110,000 and £140,000 for Paraplegia
? Total blindness in both eyes: Up to a maximum of £135,000
Between £120,000 and £150.000 for the loss of both arms.
To be honest, you are probably thinking that the placing of price tags on the loss of different parts of the body is rather macabre and in very bad taste. Personal injury solicitors, if you have been involved in a hugh accident that has a major impact on your life, are there to try and obtain the highest amount of compensation for you. At such a time, these set tariffs would become a matter of life or death for you and they would certainly provide much more security for your future.
