Personal Injury Awards

The amounts contained in the table above are the assessment of general damages in personal injury cases, taken from the Judicial Board Guidelines.

The compensation levels are the recommended range of personal injury compensation amounts for particular levels of injury and should only be viewed as a guide, as the amount of compensation payable will depend on a number of factors, such as the severity, complicating factors, and how long it may take for the victim to fully recover.

In addition to the general damages, Mackrell and Thomas will also help you claim for  special damages – the amount of out of pocket expenses incurred as a result of the injury.
