At Alan Curtis Solicitors we never forget that you are an individual. We approach every case on an individual basis and assess each on its merits.
Our clients nevertheless often ask us to assess the likely level of compensation that they might be awarded for their specific injury. The following table gives an indication of the level of compensation available for particular injuries. These figures are for compensation for the injury or injuries alone. In addition to compensation for personal injury clients may also be entitled to compensation to cover losses and expenses resulting from the injury, particularly as a result of being unable to work for a time, or in the same kind of employment, or even to work at all. This can significantly increase the total amount of the claim.
