Personal Injury Claims Sunderland – How Much Compensation?
Compensation amounts will vary from case to case. Depending on the severity of your injury and losses it could be anything from a couple of thousand pounds ranging into the millions in very serious cases.
Any compensation that we win on your behalf will be in two parts. The first aspect will involve being compensated money for your financial losses.
Our personal injury solicitors** Sunderland will look to recover the following items:
- Medical and treatment expenses (including any rehabilitation costs)
- Travel costs, for example if your car is off the road or you need taxis
- Loss of earnings and wages if you have time off work
- Any expenses incurred by people taking care of you, including family and friends
- Damages relating to personal property
In addition to that the “Personal Injury Sunderland” team will also work to get a secondary compensation payment for pain and suffering. In these cases a judgement is made on the value of the pain you suffered and any injuries. This can also include psychological damage and suffering.
There are guidelines set out by the UK Government on how the ranges that these additional damages can be between and your personal injury solicitor** will aim to achieve the highest payout for you.

Worried About Taking Action Against an Employer?
One of the more common aspects we are instructed to deal with is when a person has been hurt whilst at work. An accident at work claim can be stressful, because as an employee you are probably concerned about taking legal action against your boss, company, or employer. We would like to put your mind at rest.
Firstly, when applying for accident at work compensation our personal injury lawyers will treat your case with the utmost confidence. When it comes to making a work injury claim, your employer will have an existing insurance policy designed just for this type of occurrence.
That means, if you do take action and succeed, your boss will not have to pay compensation from their pocket. It will be paid for by the insurance companies.
Also, it’s illegal according to UK law for businesses to discriminate against employees who have pursued a work accident claim. This ruling applies to all Sunderland businesses. So, if you do wish to proceed, please be aware that you should not worry about seeking justice of this type.
