Personal injury settlement calculator
When can you claim compensation for personal injury?
If you have been injured by someone else and it was their fault, and not yours, you may be able to claim compensation.
You should speak to a personal injury solicitor. You may be able to get a no-win, no-fee solicitor – this means you don’t have to pay anything unless you win your case.
What is a personal injury settlement calculator?
A personal injury settlement calculator is used to work out how much compensation you are owed.
Are personal injury settlement calculators reliable?
It is important to note that the amount shown by a personal injury settlement calculator is only an estimate. An online personal injury settlement calculator is unlikely to be able to give you the full picture, or be able to take into account everything that should be considered.
It is highly advisable that you contact a personal injury solicitor who will be able to properly calculate the value of your claim.
How do you make a claim?
After suffering a personal injury that wasn’t your fault you should immediately contact a personal injury solicitor. Your solicitor will first consider who is liable for the injury. Your solicitor will then gather evidence on the claim and consider if there is enough evidence to bring a claim to court. Your solicitor will work out how much the defendant should pay you.
Can you negotiate an out-of-court settlement?
You certainly can. Ultimately, it is your decision as to what you should agree to accept from the defendant. Your solicitor will be able to give you advice on what is an appropriate figure and how much you would expect to receive if you went to court. Your solicitor will negotiate with the defendant how much compensation you will receive, if you and the defendant cannot reach an agreement on a figure then the case will proceed to court.
