There are other types of compensation you could be awarded through your accident such as loss of earnings or damage to property. The estimates given here are simply for your personal injury claim.

First4Lawyers' solicitors will be able to give you the best idea of the amount you should expect from your individual injury.

It is important to keep in mind that every case is different and the advice and estimates you'll be given, once your case has started, will be tailored specifically for your case.

How accurate is our injury claim calculator?

Our compensation calculator can give you an estimate of what you might be able to claim for your accident. It can’t give you an exact amount, as there are many factors that can affect your final compensation amount.

These include the severity of your injury, how long your recovery might take and how your injury affects your daily life.

When you make a No Win No Fee claim, you’ll usually have a medical assessment. This will help your solicitor understand how severe your injury is and what impact it’s had on you. They can then use this information to negotiate with the party responsible for your accident to get you the compensation you’re entitled to.

Our personal injury claim calculator can give you an idea of what you could receive for the pain you’ve experienced. But there are other things that could contribute to your total compensation amount.

How much compensation am I entitled to?

Your compensation will depend on your specific circumstances. What you are awarded will be split into two parts:

  • General damages

These damages cover the pain and suffering your injury has caused you to experience. This covers both physical and mental pain. This part of your compensation covers the direct impact your injury has had on your quality of life.

  • Special damages

These reimburse you for any financial impact your injury has had on your life. For example, if you’ve had to take time off work and have lost out on wages, you could claim for them. It’s also possible to claim back what you’ve spent on medical treatment and even travel to and from medical appointments.

For a more accurate idea of what you might be able to claim in compensation, just get in touch by calling us for free, requesting a call back or starting your compensation claim online.

We’ve helped thousands of people find the right solicitor – like Diane, who said:

“I spoke to Jacob following an accident at my local gym, leaving me with a significant injury. Jacob was sympathetic and very easy to talk to. He listened to my story and recorded it with great accuracy, after which he transferred me to the most appropriate help.”

And as our Head of Legal Services Jacqueline Busby explains, compensation is just one part of how we could help your recovery:

“Compensation is a major part of putting things right again after an accident. It can help you pay the bills if you can’t work and cover medical treatment. It can also finance any modifications to your home or vehicle in some of the most severe cases.

“But it’s not the only support that can come from making a claim. If you’ve been injured, your solicitor will typically work to get you the help you need to feel better. This can often take the form of physiotherapy or other treatments.

 “There are many elements to a personal injury claim so having the right support can be invaluable. And that’s where a specialist team like First4Lawyers can help.”

Only pay a fee if you receive compensation

Our No Win No Fee solicitors will take a success fee from the compensation you are awarded for a successful claim in the form of a percentage of your damages. This could be up to 25% but it won't be more than that, except in cases of road traffic accidents. Changing laws mean our solicitors will now take a payment of 35% of the final compensation amount plus VAT for all road traffic accident claims.

First4Lawyers are an award-winning claims management company with a track record of delivering service that our clients love.

What injuries could I claim compensation for?

You could claim compensation for any personal injury. This includes accidents at work, slips and trips, and car accidents.

It’s also possible to make a claim if you’ve been the victim of clinical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis or surgical error. Our medical negligence claim calculator can help you work out what you may be entitled to.

If you’re not sure whether you could claim compensation, our legal services advisors can let you know. They’ll discuss your case with you and set out your options, with no pressure to proceed with a claim unless you’re completely happy to.

In Scotland, the rules around No Win No Fee differ to those in England and Wales. You can still make a No Win No Fee claim for personal injuries, such as accidents at work, road traffic accidents, slips or falls and industrial disease.

But medical negligence is not covered by No Win No Fee. You are still able to make a medical negligence claim for compensation, but your lawyer won’t offer No Win No Fee to do so.
