Compensation calculator

The amount you can claim depends on a variety of factors including the type of injury you've suffered. Two main considerations are taken into account when calculating your compensation:

• Your pain, suffering and the impact of your injury on your ability to do your usual activities.
• Any financial losses due to your injury such as loss of income, any treatment you've paid for and any travel expenses.

To get a more accurate estimation, you can use our compensation calculator to find out what you might be able to claim for your accident or medical negligence injury.

Our injury claim calculator can be used for calculating an estimated compensation amount for any injury that happened due to someone else's actions (or lack thereof). This includes all personal injuries and accident claim types, for example:

• Road traffic accident injuries
• Medical negligence injuries
• Work accident injuries
• Supermarket accident injuries

People make claims for all types of injuries and, as long as the accident or incident wasn't your fault, you might be able to get compensation.

There are six steps to work through on our injury claim calculator, each one asking you a question about yourself or your accident. These are:

• The kind of accident you suffered
• Your gender
• Your type of injury
• The severity of your injury
• Any loss of earnings
• Any financial expenses

Each answer you give helps our compensation calculator understand your accident and the impact it's had on you and your family a little better. Your answers also help us to give you a more accurate guideline figure.

When answering the questions, there are often a couple of answers you can give. For example, you might have suffered multiple injuries. We recommend being as accurate as possible when describing the injuries you've suffered, even if they are minor. Knowing the full extent of your injuries is key to us helping you make it right.

We will ask you to evaluate the severity of your injury but don't worry; we provide information on what this means on the page. Hover over the '?' symbol to find out more about the definitions - "minor", "moderate" and "severe impact on your life".

Two steps ask you to input your loss of earnings and any expenses you've had to cover. The more accurate you can be here, the more accurate our compensation calculator prediction will be.

However, don't worry if you don't have the exact figures. Our claim calculator can only produce a guideline figure for various personal injury and medical negligence claim payouts. That means the value of your claim can change once your specialist personal injury solicitor or legal team have all the exact details of your accident and injury.

We recommend our injury claim calculator as the first step if you're thinking of making a claim but are feeling hesitant about the time or work involved. Our compensation calculator can help you understand what your claim could be worth and how much you could receive in compensation.

It can also encourage those to make a claim who might be worried about the process. For example, our research shows that, despite 41% of Brits having suffered a work accident, two-thirds of people who suffered due to the fault of someone else chose not to make a claim. But claiming for an accident can compensate for any loss of earnings as well as your pain and suffering.

Our claim calculator is designed to be used by people who have experienced a variety of personal injuries or accidents. It functions as a car accident compensation calculator as well as a medical negligence and accident at work compensation calculator.

Whatever accident or injury you have experienced, it can help you to understand the amount of compensation you could receive based on typical payouts for personal injury in the UK.

Our claim calculator is there to give you an idea of the amount you might be able to claim based on the typical payouts for different personal injury types. It cannot give you an exact figure because this will depend upon the severity of your injury, the time it takes to recover and negotiations between your solicitor or legal team and the party responsible for your accident.

The figures from our calculator do not consider any fees which your solicitor might deduct from your compensation if your claim is successful. This is something the solicitor or legal team would discuss and agree with you at the start of your claim, so there are no surprises.

However, all of the values the claim calculator gives are taken from official figures from the latest guidelines from the Judicial College, so you can be sure the estimated amount is realistic.
