This is a guide, not a guarantee. The injury figures are guideline brackets for general damages taken from the Judicial College Guidelines, 18th Edition. The compensation you could receive depends on the individual facts of your case, your medical evidence and your prognosis. Whiplash figures are fixed tariff amounts under the Whiplash Injury Regulations 2021.

Personal injury compensation is made up of two parts. The calculator covers both.
Compensation for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused by the injury itself. These are the guideline brackets from the Judicial College Guidelines that the calculator shows for each injury and severity.
Compensation for the financial losses caused by your injury, such as lost earnings, medical expenses, travel costs and the cost of care and support. You can enter these in step 3 to add them to your estimate.
The calculator uses the guideline brackets from the Judicial College Guidelines (18th Edition), which solicitors and courts use when valuing general damages. It gives a realistic guideline range, but the compensation you could receive depends on the individual facts of your case, your medical evidence and your prognosis. For an accurate valuation, speak to a solicitor.
General damages compensate you for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused by your injury. Special damages compensate you for the financial losses caused by the injury, such as lost earnings, medical expenses, travel costs and care costs.
Yes. If you suffered multiple injuries in the same accident, they can all be included in one claim, and you can add each injury in the calculator. When valuing multiple injuries, the court looks at the overall effect on you rather than simply adding the brackets together, so a combined figure is an approximate guide.
Most personal injury claims have a three-year time limit, usually running from the date of the accident or the date you connected your injury to it. Exceptions can apply, for example for children and for people who lack the mental capacity to claim for themselves. It is best to seek advice as early as you can.
A No Win No Fee agreement, also called a Conditional Fee Agreement, allows an eligible claimant to start a personal injury claim without paying their solicitor's fees upfront. If the claim succeeds, a success fee is usually deducted from the compensation. Your solicitor will explain the terms clearly before you decide to go ahead.
