Medical negligence compensation is individual to the injury and its consequences. Generic online calculators can be misleading because they cannot account for prognosis, care or long-term financial loss.
Important: This page provides general information. Limitation, funding and the merits of a claim require advice on the individual circumstances.
General damages
This part of a claim addresses pain, suffering and loss of amenity arising from the injury.
Past financial losses
Where supported by evidence, these can include earnings, care, treatment, travel and other expenses caused by the injury.
Future needs
Serious injuries can require assessment of future care, rehabilitation, treatment, equipment, accommodation and earnings.
Why evidence matters
The purpose is to quantify reasonable losses arising from proven negligence, rather than apply a generic figure to a diagnosis.
