How Much Can I Claim?

How much you can claim depends mainly in the individual circumstances involved so there is no definitive answer as to how much you can claim for certain types of injury as factors such as loss of earnings and emotional stress are more difficult to assess.

However there are national guidelines* as to how much can be typically awarded for injuries as set out below. Remember! Your No Win No Fee injury claim specialist solicitor will evaluate your claim and give a more accurate guide based on your personal circumstances.
