| Description: | The main reason for using an expert personal injury compensation solicitor is that they will include all aspects of the way in which your personal injury has affected your life, and not just make a personal injury claim for the pain and suffering you experienced. Therefore, they will include “loss of amenity” in your claim for personal injury compensation for the length of time independent medical reports show that you will be unable to perform certain functions and enjoy a full quality of life because of your personal injury.
A further element of a personal injury compensation claim is “special damages”. This is basically “out-of-pocket” expenses, but can also include loss of earnings if you are temporarily unable to work or if you have to give up work permanently because of your injury. Your solicitor will advise you to keep a diary after sustaining a personal injury to record any loss of amenity and medical treatment you receive. You should also use this diary to save receipts for any expense you have experienced which is directly due to your personal injury. |
