When you make a compensation claim for harm caused by a breach of duty of care, your settlement can be made up of two different kinds of damages. These are referred to as general damages and special damages. We’ll look at each of these in detail below.

General Damages

General damages is the part of your claim that relates to the pain and suffering your injuries have caused you. This can be emotional pain and suffering as well as physical. It takes into account the impact the injury had on you, the period of time that the injury had taken to heal and any loss of amenity you’ve experienced as a result.

The table below is based on the compensation brackets from the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG). The amounts are calculated from past cases and are used by legal professionals to help value claims. It’s important to remember that these are just guidelines, not guarantees. Also please note that the figure in the first row was not taken from the JCG.

Types of Injuries	Compensation Guideline	Description
Multiple Severe Injuries and Special Damages	Up to £250,000 or more	Settlements can compensate for more than one injury and related expenses, such as lost earnings and nursing care.
Chest Injuries (b)	£80,240 to £122,850	Permanent damage to chest, lungs and/or heart.
Neck Injuries: Severe (iii)	£55,500 to £68,330	Fractures, dislocations or soft tissue damage leading to significant and permanent disability.
Wrist Injuries	£58,710 to £73,050	Complete loss of function.
Arm Injuries (b)	£47,810 to £73,050	Serious fractures to both forearms resulting in permanent and substantial disability.
Back Injuries: Moderate (i)	£33,880 to £47,320	For example, the crushing or fracturing of the lumbar vertebrae.
Hand Injuries: Less Serious	£17,640 to £35,390	A crushing injury that has impaired function in the hand to a significant degree.
Leg Injuries: Less Serious (i)	£21,920 to £33,880	Fractures and soft tissue injuries where recovery is incomplete
Foot Injuries: Moderate	£16,770 to £30,500	Fractures that have resulted in a permanent deformity and continuing symptoms.
Kidney Injuries	£37,550 to £54,760	The loss of one kidney, and there no damage to the other

Special Damages

Special damages is the term used for the financial impact, both past and future, that was caused by your injury. You must provide proof of these expenses to claim them back.

The ways that you could be impacted financially include:

Travel expenses
Medication or prescription refills
Childcare costs
Loss of earnings

If you want to inquire about what type of damages could apply to your claim, please call and speak to one of our advisors. They can also advise you on how to use a personal injury claims calculator.

What Is A Personal Injury Claims Calculator?

A personal injury claims calculator can be used to calculate the amount of compensation you could potentially receive from injuries that you have suffered. In order to claim for an injury, you’d need to show that the accident that caused it came about because of a duty of care breach.

There are a number of scenarios in which a duty of care applies. These include:

On the road
In a public place
While at work

When you use our calculator, you will be asked to input information about how the accident occurred, how long ago it happened and what injuries you sustained. You’ll also confirm whether you were partly at fault for the accident, as this could affect the personal injury settlement you receive.

You will also be asked to input information about any loss of earnings you have experienced; however, this personal injury compensation calculator will not take other special damages into account. Because of this, we also recommend also getting in touch with a member of our team, as they can offer you a free assessment of the value of your claim.

How Can Injuries Happen?

Injuries can happen in a number of different ways, but you can only claim compensation for injuries that happen because of a breach of duty of care. These could be major injuries such as broken bones or dislocated limbs or more minor injuries like strains, sprains or a minor head injury.

If these injuries were suffered due to negligence, you may be able to make a claim; you can see how much you could be owed with a personal injury settlement calculator. Below we’ve included some examples of how accidents could happen.

At work

The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HASAWA) is a central piece of legislation that governs health and safety within a workplace. It states that an employer needs to take all reasonably practicable steps to ensure your safety in the workplace.

If they failed to do this, for example, by not providing correct training, you could injure your back through poor lifting techniques.

On the road

Road users owe one another a duty of care as per the Road Traffic Act 1988. The Highway Code also outlines the things that road users are expected to do to keep themselves and others safe.

Breaching this duty of care could involve running a red light, for example. This could cause a vehicle to hit you as you are crossing the road, resulting in a broken collarbone and fractured pelvis.

In public

The Occupier’s Liability Act 1957 is the piece of legislation that defines the duty of care owed to the public by those in control of public spaces.

If an accident such as a slip, trip or fall from the same level, occurs in a supermarket setting, you could claim if there was no signage of a sudden step or uneven flooring. This could lead to a broken foot or a broken arm.

What Impact Might An Injury Have?

It’s clear that an injury can have a physical impact on you. For example, if you sustain a broken toe, this might affect your ability to walk. Similarly, a shoulder injury could impact the mobility in your arm and affect your ability to work and care for yourself.

However, psychological injuries can also be compensated for in a claim. For example, you might experience anxiety after being injured in a breach of duty of care because you’re afraid it will happen again.

For more information on the injuries that you could sustain and the impact they could have, and how to use a personal injury claims calculator to value your claim, speak with an advisor today.

How Can A Personal Injury Settlement Calculator Help Me?

The personal injury settlement calculator uses information that you provide for your injuries. It can give you a rough idea of how much compensation you could receive.

It’s a good jumping-off point with which to begin the process of claiming. Once you’ve used the calculator, you can then get in touch with one of our advisors.

Of course, if you’d like someone to walk you through the process of using a calculator, we can help you with this, too. Or, if you’d prefer to bypass this step altogether, get in touch with one of our advisors for free legal advice and an assessment of how much your claim could be worth.

“I studied law at A-level and really enjoyed the theoretical side. I find my role very rewarding, representing clients who have often been involved in a life changing accidents through no fault of their own. I fight hard for my clients and do not tolerate poor conduct on behalf of Defendants, which is all too often nowadays.”

Connect With No Win No Fee Solicitors And Use Our Personal Injury Compensation Calculator

When you contact an advisor, they will assess whether you have good grounds to claim compensation. If you do and if you would like to proceed with the services at Compensation Calculator UK, you could be connected to one of the solicitors from our panel.

Our compensation calculator sets a framework for the compensation you might be eligible to claim. Our panel will look at this figure and then recalculate to ensure that your claim includes everything you are entitled to. From there, they will negotiate with the other party’s insurer to help you get the settlement you deserve.

The services our panel provides are on a No Win No Fee basis through a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This means that you won’t pay a solicitor’s fee upfront, as the claim is ongoing, or if you are not awarded compensation. You will have to pay a success fee if your claim succeeds. This amount is taken as a percentage of your compensation. Furthermore, the percentage itself is limited by the law.
