When you file a claim concerning an injury at the workplace, the immediate question that comes to mind is, how much will I get? Some tools, such as an injury at work claim calculator or work injury claims calculator, can provide you with a rough estimate but are merely estimates. Each case is unique and the ultimate cost will be determined by numerous factors.
Compensation is commonly two-fold:
● General Damages – This is in respect of the pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life as a consequence of your injury.
● Special Damages – This refers to the financial losses you have incurred or will incur. It includes lost wages, medical bills, travel costs, and any necessary adjustments to your home or car.
Several things affect the total amount:
● How serious your injury is
● How long will your recovery take
● Whether you have long-term pain or disability
● How much does the injury affect your work and daily life?
Here are some examples:
● A minor hand injury that results in a full recovery may be worth between £1,000 and £5,000.
● A serious back injury with lasting pain and movement problems could range from £30,000 to over £130,000.
● Moderate post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) caused by a workplace accident might bring between £6,000 and £21,000.
A work injury claim calculator can help you see a starting figure, but it does not cover everything. Real compensation considers your entire situation – including your pain, lost income, and future needs.
