Lot’s of people wonder what type of settlement they can receive for a personal injury caused by someone else’s negligence. It’s normal to wonder what size settlement you could be entitled to for slipping while visiting a shop or when a medical professional makes a mistake in your care. After all, there are many adverts claiming you could easily get a £10,000 cheque but you should never hire a personal injury solicitor based on what they claim they can get for you.

Remember, your personal injury has to be fairly severe to get the large cheques advertised on television. Torn stockings and scrapped knees from a slip and fall on a walkway are not going to result in your being able to buy a new car.

Your personal injury does have worth though, firms will solicit your business, wanting to handle your claim. You should get what you’re entitled to, to help you get your life back on track but remember, your claim is to benefit you and your family and replace what you lost because of the injury. The amount you receive is not a “punishment” for the negligent party so in theory, you should only have a claim for your exact damages. If you request a fair compensation, you are likely to settle quickly, a bonus if you just want to get on with your life.
