Get in touchFrequently Asked Questions
What types of compensation can I get for my accident and injuries?
Work accident claims usually involve a claim for two types of financial compensation:
- General damages, and
- Special damages.
General Damages
General damages include compensation for:
- the pain and suffering, and
- loss of amenity you have suffered as a result of your accident-related injuries.
This is compensation for the impact of the accident on your physical and psychological health.
It also covers the impact on your everyday life.
The sum to be paid will be decided by the Court.
Special Damages
Special damages include compensation for financial losses related to your accident.
Examples include:
- loss of earnings and pension as a result of a serious injury,
- travel to medical appointments,
- equipment and alterations to vehicles and housing as a result of your injuries,
- the purchase of prosthetic limbs (if necessary),
- ongoing nursing and care,
- private health care and surgery,
- domestic services, including DIY, window cleaning, decoration and maintenance.
This can seem a lot to consider. However, our team have the skills and experience to support you every step of the way. All whilst ensuring that the compensation you are awarded is the highest possible.

Our Accident at Work Compensation Calculator can help you get an estimate based on the type of injury you have suffered.
The compensation you may be entitled to will depend on factors such as the severity of your injuries, any lost earnings, and the cost of medical treatment.
By using our accident at work claim calculator, you can get an idea of what you may be able to claim and be better prepared to pursue the compensation you deserve.
Check how much you could getWill making a claim affect my job?
Often, people worry that making a claim against their employer will affect their job or relationships with colleagues.
Legally you cannot be dismissed for bringing a claim against your employer.
Furthermore, all employees have the right to claim compensation if their employer doesn’t fulfil their duty of care to protect their employ’ health, safety and welfare.
If you have concerns about the financial impact on your employer, be reassured that UK employers are legally required to take out employers’ liability insurance. This insurance should cover them for work accident claims.
How do I know if I can claim compensation?
All cases are unique. But, if another person was responsible for your accident or injury at work, it is likely you could claim compensation.
This is true regardless of whether they are an employer, colleague or supervisor.
