How Compensation Is Calculated
Personal injury compensation in the UK consists of two primary elements:
General Damages
Compensation for pain, suffering and loss of amenity, calculated using the Judicial College Guidelines based on:
- Type and severity of injury
- Recovery timeline
- Impact on quality of life
Special Damages
Financial reimbursement for specific monetary losses:
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation costs
- Loss of earnings (past and future)
- Travel expenses
- Care and assistance
- Adaptations to home or vehicle
For long-term injuries, calculations may involve the Ogden Tables, which help determine the present value of future losses.
