How much will I get?

This depends on the extent of your injuries and whether you have made a full recovery or not. We will advise you of the amount of compensation you might be awarded. In addition to compensation for your injuries, you may also be able to recover compensation for your lost wages. If as a result of the accident you are unable to work in the future, then you may be awarded a figure in respect of your future loss of earnings.

How long will it take?
This largely depends on the severity of your injuries and how long it takes you to make a recovery. Even if you make a full recovery from your injury within six months of the accident, it may well be a further six - 18 months before you obtain compensation. This is often due to the delay in obtaining medical reports. In cases of serious injury where there is permanent disability, it may take even longer to settle the claim. However, in such cases it is possible to apply for an interim payment on account of the final amount.
