Our compensation calculator can give you an idea of what you might be able to claim for your accident. It can’t give you an exact amount, as there are a lot of factors that have an impact on your final amount of compensation.
These include the severity of your injury, how long your recovery is expected to take and how your injury affects your daily life.
Our claims calculator’s estimates are taken from the Judicial College’s Guidelines for the Assessment of General Damages in Personal Injury Cases. When you make a claim, these guidelines will form part of the basis for your compensation.
When you make a personal injury claim, you’ll typically undergo a medical assessment. This will help your solicitor understand exactly how severe your injury is and what its impact has been 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.

Your compensation will depend on your specific circumstances. What you are awarded will be split into two parts:
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.
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. You could also claim for any personal property that was damaged in your accident. It’s also possible to claim back what you’ve spent on medical treatment and even travel to and from medical appointments.
Your final compensation amount could be affected if you were partly responsible for your accident. You will likely still be able to make a claim but your level of responsibility will have an effect on how much you can then claim in the end.
For example, if you were hurt in a car accident that was 30% your fault, you would see a 30% deduction in your final compensation amount.
You may also be advised to take out an insurance policy by your solicitor. This is known as After the Event insurance. It covers certain legal costs but you’ll only have to pay for it if your claim is successful. The cost is taken out of the compensation you are awarded.
As most of our claims are concluded on a No Win No Fee basis, if your claim is successful, you’ll also have to pay your solicitor a success fee. This will be up to 25% of your compensation amount, but it won’t be more. Please note this excludes claims for road traffic accidents and housing disrepair, where customers typically pay 35% + VAT due to changes introduced through the Civil Liability Act 2018. Your solicitor will make sure you know all the details of any fees at the beginning of the process, so you won’t face any surprise costs.
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 and housing disrepair. Changing laws mean our solicitors will now take a payment of 35% of the final compensation amount plus VAT for all road traffic accident and housing disrepair claims.

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.

No Win No Fee is not applicable in Northern Ireland. You can still make compensation claims, but you won’t be able to do so on a No Win No Fee basis.
