Given the wide variety of possible of spinal injuries, it’s difficult to put an exact figure on how much compensation you might be entitled to. Compensation is calculated on a case-by-case basis and the severity of the injury, impact on your life and possible financial loss are all taken into account.
You can claim for:
- pain and suffering
- loss of earnings (current and potential earnings)
- care costs
- loss of amenity (ie reduction in quality of life)
