Discover how much compensation you may be entitled to in just minutes. We will assess your case after a consultation and calculate the estimated pay-out you can receive.
Our serious injury claim calculator gives you a quick, initial estimate of what your general damages could be, based on the type and severity of your injury, prompting you to consider special damages, such as lost earnings and medical costs. These estimates are grounded in:
- Judicial College Guidelines, adapted to reflect serious and catastrophic injury bands (e.g., brain, spinal, amputation, severe long‑term disability)
- UK Ogden Tables with a 5% discount rate for future losses, effective January 11, 2025
Your compensation is composed of:
- General damages: For pain, suffering, and loss of amenity
- Special damages: Quantifiable financial losses, including past and future earnings, medical and care costs, travel, equipment, and home adaptations
Example compensation ranges (general damages only)
Injury Category | Estimated Range |
Very Severe brain injury (permanent) | £344,150 – £493,000 |
Moderate brain injury | £183,190 – £267,340 |
Severe multiple fractures or spinal injury | £36,000 – £120,000 |
Permanent psychiatric/psychological injury | £66,920 – £141,240 |
Major tendon/ligament injuries | £15,000 – £46,900 |
These are purely general damages examples, special damages may significantly increase your final total
What we require
To generate your estimate, simply provide:
- Type of injury: e.g., catastrophic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation
- Severity: permanent disability, cognitive impacts, mobility limitations
- Estimated financial losses: past/future earnings, ongoing care needs, travel/rehabilitation costs
Each element improves the accuracy of your estimate. While the tool handles general damages, for precision, especially with catastrophic injuries, it’s essential to input full details.
What affects your final award?
The estimate is a guide; your eventual award may be influenced by:
- Multiple injuries: the combined effect can raise the total general damages
- Liability and contributory negligence: partial fault can reduce your compensation proportionally

FAQs
Can partial fault reduce my claim?
Yes. If you’re partly to blame, your compensation will reflect your percentage share of responsibility.
Will I pay anything upfront?
Not if you proceed on a no-win, no-fee basis. You’ll only pay the success fee.
What if I have multiple serious injuries?
Multiple injuries are added together and dealt as one claim. Compensation is adjusted to reflect the combined severity impact.
