Serious personal injury and illness can be devastating and have a life changing impact for the people directly involved. However, with personal injury claims solicitors you get a legal representation for a claim due to injuries caused by negligence or wrongdoing of another person, company, government agency or other entity. Compensation won through them is an invaluable lifeline for the victims who may have lost their ability to earn due to the injury. Medical costs and other financial losses can be covered through such compensation.
Personal Injury Claims cover:
Road accidents
Accidents in public places
Accidents at work
Product liability claims
Motorcycle accidents
Accidents in public transport vehicles
Any monetary losses incurred by a victim due to the accident are compiled in a document called Schedule of Loss. Some of the things that can be included in a Schedule of Loss include:
Loss of Earnings: If the victim has been absent from work due to the accident and is forced to take a leave without pay, then he or she can file for loss of earnings claim. This claim is usually calculated as per the average earnings information on last 13 salary slips, prior to the accident. If the victim s self employed, the calculation is based on last three years’ profits and loss accounts.
Care and Assistance: If the accident causes severe physical disabilities and the victim is forced to hire help for household work such as cleaning, preparing meals, personal care, then he/she may claim for care and assistance. This is claimed at hourly rate and is payable to the domestic helpers.
Treatment Bills: The personal injury solicitors usually arrange for basic physiotherapy, osteopathic or chiropractic treatment, for their clients. The costs of such treatments can be recovered from the other party once the claim is successful. In case the claim is not successful, insurance covers the cost.
Travel Costs: The cost of travel for visits to hospitals and courts is also included in the Schedule of Loss.
