What Is a Personal Injury Claim?
According to Compensation Act 2006, UK, when someone has harmed you physically or emotionally through their negligence you have the right to compensation. A personal injury claim helps you recover your financial and emotional losses, regaining balance following a traumatic experience.
A typical personal injury claim covers the following:
- Medical Costs: Hospital care, therapy, medication, and long-term rehabilitation
- Loss of Income: Wages lost during recovery or a decrease in earning ability.
- Pain and Suffering: The injury hurts you emotionally and physically.
- Other Expenses: Travel, home adjustments and personal care.
The process is more efficient and easier with an experienced legal representative. It gives you a better chance of winning and achieving equitable justice.
