Go through our guide below to uncover the possible compensation amount for your Facial Injury Claim.
How can we determine facial injury and facial disfigurement settlements?
We can calculate compensation for facial injury claims by combining General Damages and Special Damages:
General damages generally cover the agony, grief and bad quality of life one lives after suffering a facial injury. Medical examination helps to evaluate the extremity of the injury, guided by Judicial College standards, facilitating accurate estimation for the face injury and the suffering it brought with it.
Special damages addresses financial losses to avoid any disadvantage due to physical injury. These damages may include:
- Lost earnings due to time off work
- Medical expenditure, like rehabilitation services
- Transportation costs to seek medical services
- Home modifications post physical injury
- Any other expense directly resulting from the physical injury
How can we estimate compensation for a facial injury claim?
The personal injury solicitor will classify your injury based on medical records when calculating possible compensation, providing a range rather than a fixed amount, as all facial injury claims are different, and recovery times vary.
Once a pay range has been set, your personal injury lawyer will advocate for the higher end, while the insurer on the other end may aim for the lower amount. If both parties fail to come to a mutual conclusion, the case may proceed to court, where both parties present their estimations for judicial review. Refer to Judicial College guidelines for facial injury compensation claims brackets, covering general damages but excluding special damages you may claim.
