This is a fair question and one that many feel guilty about asking. It is not an easy question to answer unfortunately because every injury is different. However we have provided the following guide based on our own statistics:
| Injury | Recovery period | Possible award |
|---|---|---|
| Whiplash injury to neck | 8 months | £2000-£2500 |
| Back injury | 2 years | £3500-£4000 |
| Fractured wrist (scaphoid) | 2 years | £4000-£5000 |
| Knee injury | 1 year | £3000 |
| Foot injury | 6 months | £1500 |
| Facial scarring (female) | Permanent blemish | £10,000 |
Ideally you should make your complaint preferably in writing as soon as possible after the matter you are complaining about happened. The time limit for complaints is usually:
A NHS complaint can be made by a patient, a patients representative or family member providing they have their consent if able to do so.
Not a penny! There are no payments at any stage when we deal with your claim. We also ensure you receive 100% of any compensation awarded.
There is no catch. We work on the basis that if we win your claim, the insurers for the other party will pay your legal fees. If the claim is unsuccessful - we cannot charge you anything because of the no win no fee scheme that we operate.
There are some simple forms to complete in order for us to start your case. You will also need to visit a local medical doctor at some stage so that we can prove your claim.
This really depends on the severity of the injury but most soft tissue claims will usually settle within 6 months.
