Unfortunately, there's no easy answer. Car accident compensation in the UK is based on several factors, including:
- Severity of your injuries: The worse your injuries, the higher the potential payout. This covers physical injuries and any psychological impact.
- Other losses: This includes lost earnings (both now and if it affects your future career), costs for care, vehicle damage, and other expenses directly caused by the accident.
- Who's to blame: If the other driver admits full fault, your claim value should be higher than if the blame is shared.
To get a realistic idea of what your claim could be worth, you need two things:
- An understanding of how severe your injuries are: A medical assessment will help determine this, and if you may have long-term needs.
- An idea of your total financial losses: Keep receipts and records of everything the accident has cost you.
How "it happens" can help maximize your claim:
- We build a strong case: This includes getting the right expert reports supporting your claim.
- We don't let insurers undervalue your claim: We know their tactics and will push for the maximum you deserve.
