Accident at Work Claim Calculator & Work Injury Compensation Claim Settlement Values

Our first priority is always to ensure that your health and wellbeing are considered in full, ensuring you have access to the best treatment and support to help with recovery from your injuries. This is a mainstay of our approach to all Accident at Work Compensation Claims.

If you are looking for more information on the potential value of your Work Accident Claim, then our Work Accident Compensation Calculator guidance below will prove a useful resource in helping understand the compensation value of the ‘General Damages’ element of your claim.

Depending on your own personal circumstances and the degree to which your injury affects your ability to return to work, we may also need to consider your financial situation due to a loss of earnings, and perhaps your inability to return to work.  If appropriate, we can look to secure you an interim compensation payment to help cover any lost earnings or finance any medical care whilst your claim continues.

As Law Society accredited Personal Injury Solicitors and experts in Accident at Work Claims, we will ensure that all your needs and those of your family are catered for and carefully considered when evaluating the potential value of your claim.

The figures outlined below offer an indication of the recommended settlement amounts for the 'general damages' element of your claim (for the pain and suffering alone caused by your Accident at Work). These compensation values are published the Judicial College each year, providing clear guidelines to the Courts. These figures do not consider additional losses or damages that may be incurred, but that are directly  associated with your accident and injury (i.e. 'special damages). Special Damages will likely increase the final value of your Accident at Work Claim.

An accurate valuation of any compensation claim can only be made once all the details of the accident are known, including the extent of your injuries and likelihood of making a full recovery.

How Accidents at Work Compensation Calculation works?

It's understandable that clients want to know about the potential value of their Workplace Accident Claim, especially in relation to serious injuries.

Calculating the levels of compensation attached to an Accident at Work Claim is seldom straightforward and much depends on the details of the incident, the nature and severity of your injury, and the anticipated impact of the injury on your immediate and future life.

As with any form of personal injury claim, 'General damages' seek to compensate injured parties for the physical pain and mental anguish caused by the injury itself and their value is determined by the type of injury sustained, its severity and the anticipated recovery time.

Often there can be additional losses suffered becuase of the injury, such as prolonged periods away from work, these must also be considered before the final value of your Accident at Work Claim can be determined.

This initial assessment process is critical to ensuring you receive the appropriate levels of compensation and should not be rushed.

As specialists in Work Injury Claims, Shelden Davidson Solicitors will ensure that all essential circumstances are considered when assessing the value of your claim. In some instances, it can be sensible to allow the injured party time to recover or to take time to ensure the injury is assessed fully before valuing the claim. Once the full implications of your injury are evaluated, we then seek to secure the appropriate compensation settlement value from those liable for your injury. Where appropriate interim compensation payments can also be sought and made.

If you are in the unfortunate position of having suffered an injury in an accident at work that was not your fault, you will be entitled to claim financial compensation. Often this compensation may be needed to support you financially whilst you are unable to work and could help to pay for ongoing medical care, rehabilitation and any bills incurred whilst you recover.
