Compensation, And How It May Be Calculated
It’s always difficult to say exactly what a compensation claim may be worth. Typically it will depend upon:
- The nature and extent of injuries or illness
- The financial consequences of the injuries or illness
- How the Claimant is likely to be affected in the future
- The age and sex of the Claimant
It will also take into account legal issues including:
- Guidelines based on previous case law
- Guidance given by judges
