How will the compensation be calculated?
The key factor of consideration for compensation is the severity of the injury which you have sustained, the type of accident does not determine the compensation amounts. After a report has been put together by a specialist or expert, which is based upon GP notes and medical examinations, the level of compensation can be determined.
The report includes details regarding the injury, its severity and the subsequent consequences of the injury due to the accident. After this report has been provided to the solicitors, using case law and analysis an idea of what you could expect to receive will be provided.
There are two types of compensation awarded, general damages which compensates for the victims pain and suffering of the injury and special damages which includes financial losses and expenses.
How much could you claim?
Injuries to the cheekbone vary in severity, ranging from surgery to permanent damage, and the amount of compensation awarded will reflect this. A claim can be made to help cover any loss of earnings, medical costs and psychological impact.
