Besides claiming for your injuries themselves, you can include many other expenses and losses which have resulted from your injuries.
With all additional losses, it is important to document them as much as is possible so that the loss, and the amount you are claiming for, can be proved.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, you could claim for:
- Travel expenses – to attend your GP or hospital, for example
- Medical expenses and treatment costs – such as painkillers or physiotherapy sessions.
- Care and assistance – if your injuries required a friend or relative to provide significant help in your daily life.
- Loss of earnings – if you took time off work and did not receive full pay, or you lost a bonus due to your absence.
- Future losses – if your working life is to be shortened, or if you are to earn less money in a new role you have had to take because of the accident.
This list is by no means exhaustive. If you have suffered other losses not mentioned above, then make sure you discuss these with us so we can advise you accordingly.
