How much is the average Personal Injury payout?
At MG Legal, our personal injury solicitors are asked this question, on a daily basis. ‘How much is my personal injury claim worth?’, ‘What’s my claim worth?’, or ‘How much is the average personal injury settlement?’.
Sometimes, our personal injury solicitors can answer the ‘how much’ question, immediately. For example, if Mr Smith has been injured in a road traffic accident, and 12 months after his traffic accident, he decides to pursue a personal injury claim, and he says, ‘my neck and back were sore for 10 months, but I am feeling alright now’, then, our personal injury solicitors would have the knowledge to give an estimate of the compensation that Mr Smith would receive for the injury itself. How? Well, Mr Smith has told us the areas of his injury, and how long his injuries lasted. Using this information, and the Judicial Studies Board Guidelines for personal injury compensation, our local personal injury solicitors would be capable of giving Mr Smith a rather accurate figure for the sum he would receive in personal injury compensation, if he were to pursue his No Win No Fee basis with our personal injury solicitors.
If you are wondering how much you could be entitled to based on the nature and severity of your injury, then read on to see estimations for the amounts rewarded for different injuries.
