How Much Could I Receive for Bodily Injury Claims?

One of the most difficult aspects of any compensation claim is placing a value on the amount of money you should receive from your bodily injury claim. Different personal injury solicitors will give you different estimations simply because they go off the amounts they have won for their clients.

At Tylers Solicitors, our experienced personal injury solicitors can give you an estimate of what you will receive for a successful personal injury claim. This will be based on the details and evidence you provide.

The bodily injury compensation you will receive also depends on the seriousness of the injury. For instance, a broken bone is more likely to warrant more compensation than a deep cut or heavy bruising.

What type of Bodily Injury Can I Claim Compensation For? 

If you suffer any type of injury as a result of negligence, you could be eligible to claim personal injury compensation. Bodily injury compensation claims cover everything from minor injuries such as cuts and bruising to much more severe things like loss of limbs. As no two cases are ever the same, it can be difficult to estimate the amount of compensation an injured person can receive. This is because we have to assess which part of the body was injured, and we also have to consider how you received that injury and whether you were at fault or not. We also need to assess any other associated costs, such as loss of earnings or additional medical expenses. All of this needs to be taken into account when you submit a bodily injury claim.

The Main Causes of Bodily Injury Compensation Claims

You can claim compensation for any type of bodily injury you sustain if it was the result of someone else’s negligence. However, some types of bodily injuries are more common than others.

The HSE (Health and Safety Executive) 2023 Health and Safety at Work Statistics for Great Britain show us that the main causes of bodily injuries in the workplace include:

  • Slips, Trips and Falls – 32%
  • Injuries resulting from handling or lifting – 17%
  • Workers being struck by vehicles – 11%
  • Falls from height – 8%
  • Injuries as a result of acts of violence – 8%

Even if the injury you suffered wasn’t a result of the above, if you weren’t at fault, you may well be entitled to bodily injury compensation.

If you are unsure about whether the circumstances of your injury qualify you for compensation, contact our team today. To get more details or to start a personal injury claim, call us on our freephone at 0800 699 0079.

What Can You Do to Help Ensure Your Bodily Injury Compensation Claim is Successful?

While there is no 100% guarantee that any claim for bodily injury compensation will succeed, there are certain steps you can take to help improve your chances.

Making sure you always take the following actions will also help speed up the personal injury claims process:

  1. Report the incident immediately, either to your line manager or a member of the organisation where it occurred.
  2. Make sure that the incident is recorded in the accident book – every organisation should have one, and this will serve as proof that the accident occurred on the premises.
  3. Visit your doctor and get medical treatment even if you have only sustained a minor injury. Medical records form an important part of any personal injury compensation claim.
  4. Provide your legal team with precise information about the reasons for the accident and details of the injuries sustained.
  5. Make sure you get the names and contact details of anyone who witnesses the injury.
  6. Photograph the scene of the accident (providing it is safe to do so).
  7. Keep a record of any expenditures resulting from your injury (e.g. rehabilitation costs).
  8. Keep a record of any financial losses incurred due to your injury (i.e. loss of earnings).
What Injuries Can I Claim For?

There are several other ways you can receive a bodily injury eligible for personal injury compensation. For instance, if you are a passenger in a car, and another motorist collides with you, causing an injury, then you can make a road traffic accident claim.

Alternatively, you could be the victim of a serious criminal assault, such as grievous or actual bodily harm, in which case you can claim compensation for your injuries.

Bodily injuries can happen to anybody, man, woman or child, and some cases have even led to death, in which case you can start a lawsuit of wrongful death on behalf of your loved ones.
