Car Accident Injury Claim Calculator

If you sustained injuries in a road traffic accident that was not your fault, you may be eligible for compensation. Our car accident injury claim calculator offers a quick and easy way to estimate what your claim might be worth, based on the latest legal guidelines for 2025.

What is a car accident claim calculator?

Our compensation calculator for car accidents is designed to help you understand how much you may be entitled to following an accident. Whether you were a driver, passenger, pedestrian, or cyclist, injuries sustained in a road traffic collision can have a lasting impact, both physically and financially.

This calculator gives a rough estimate of your potential payout, taking into account factors like:

• Type and severity of injury
• Recovery time
• Loss of earnings
• Emotional trauma
• Medical expenses

While every claim is different, our car accident injury claim calculator is based on current Judicial College Guidelines and typical compensation examples from real UK cases.

How to use the calculator

Using our road traffic accident injury compensation calculator is simple. Simply choose the injured area of your body and then indicate the type and severity of the injury. You’ll instantly receive an estimated compensation range.

Keep in mind this information is for general guidance only. To get a more accurate estimate based on your specific circumstances, speak to one of our expert solicitors for road traffic accidents.

Common car accident compensation examples

Here are a few examples of compensation for car accidents to give you a clearer idea of what you might expect:

These figures are only estimates. Our car accident compensation examples reflect average awards in similar claims, but your payout could vary depending on medical evidence, long-term impact, and loss of income.

What’s included in a car accident compensation claim?

A typical road traffic accident claim includes two elements:

1. General damages – For pain, suffering, and loss of amenity (your quality of life)
2. Special damages – For financial losses such as:
   • Loss of earnings (past and future)
   • Travel costs
   • Medical treatment or rehab
   • Vehicle repairs or replacement

Our car accident claim calculator includes both elements, so you get a realistic view of what your final settlement could look like.

Can I claim for a minor injury?

Yes, even minor injuries such as whiplash or bruising can be grounds for a claim, especially if they disrupt your day-to-day life. However, following changes to the law, minor injury claims (particularly whiplash) are now subject to a fixed tariff system under the Whiplash Reform Programme. This legislation affects drivers and passengers but not vulnerable road users like pedestrians, cyclists, or motorcyclists.

If you’re unsure how the reforms impact your claim, our calculator can help clarify your potential payout, or just speak to one of our specialists.
