You should be able to claim lost earnings though the amount might be limited to certain figure per day.
Insurers for some reason often stick notes on the case files saying "not to be seen by doctor for 3 months" When I saw one of their private doctors he was talk about it.
I think its so a) you are aware of all the injuries b) so if you were lying, the doctor won't know.

Sounds nasty, knee injuries make me barf.
Also consider any psychological trauma, lack of sex life/libido, nightmares etc, all count towards the settlement and it seems like you have really been knocked for six by the dozy cow.
Hope you heal up and hope it gets settled soon  . |

I had a motorbike accident back in halloween '10, was going round the roundabout and a woman never stopped or looked before coming to the roundabout and I drove straight in to the side of her. I was took to hospital where I was in a neck brace for like 4 hours, multiple scans etc, ended up having a seizure, got a few scars, and at the time I had bad pain in my knee but they was to concerned about my neck and back etc so never bothered to scan my knee, they just put it down to swelling and bruising, I couldn't walk for 2-3 month, but eventually in about 4-5 months I thought I was all good to return back to football, went out, tried to run and fell straight on my arse with a locked knee, got to hospital to be told my ACL was torn.
Already had a knee arthroscopy, and know I am waiting for my ACL reconstruction which will be around Jan-Feb. I've gotta do 4 months physio, then after my ACL reconstruction I've gotta have 12 months physio until fully recovered.
Unable to work, unable to play sport, my claim's going through still with my insurance but they won't tell me how much compensation I'll be getting. They won't even give me a rough estimate, they say I won't be told until I'm on the road to full recovery and I've been looked at by one of their private doctors etc..
Was just wondering if anyone has had some sort of same injury and how much did they receive? Or if anyone works for a solicitor company/ insurance company, just wanna know a rough estimate of what I'll be receiving.
Plus, do they pay me for not being able to work? Scars? Seizure?
*new to the site, sorry if this is in wrong section..* |
You cannot put a specific value on such an injury because no 2 claims are the same and no 2 claimants have the same circumstances.
The claim is split into 2
General damages which covers your actual injuries along with a payment for pain and suffering
Special damages covers all your out of pocket expenses, damaged property, loss of capacity and so on, and it is this area where there can be so many variations.
And then this is before any arguments start for maybe some contributory negligence (I am not saying there is but I don't know the full circumstances) and so values are going to vary immensley.
I can help you (well my firm can) and I am the firms in house motorcycle specialist, and so if you PM me with a contact number, I will be happy to give you a no obligation call, have a chat and see if we can help.

Na thanks I'll stick with my current solicitors. Just wondering if anyone has had the same/similar injurys as me and wanted to know what compo they got.
Theres no arguments either, the woman has admitted full liability, what has she got to argue???? |

How come you've been waiting so long? quote]
Wotcha.
So far, that's the time taken for me to recover . . .I'm still awaiting further surgery. I suppose the insurance company were rather hoping that I would die before they had to pay out. So far they are out of luck

Don't accept any offer until such time as you know that you are well on the road to recovery.
If you accept too soon, then the chances are your claim will be undervalued as you won't know the full extent as to regards your loss of capacity until you are giventhe all clear and told you are mended either fully 100% or as well as you are likely to be.
The area that is difficult to quantify is the seizure.
You need to be 100% sure what the cause of the seizure was and that there is no liklihood of a further occurence in a few years time.
This again will have a bearing on the quantum.
A case such as yours, even with liability admitted, you should be looking somewhere around the 30 - 36 month mark before you consider settling. |
Well mate I know I'm on the road to recovery after my ACL reconstruction, and also I will be signing an agreement to say if any further problems in the future, I will be able to claim again so there would be no worries there.
And I was told at the hospital the seizure was due to shock etc and was a one off..
Well It's been around 14 months now, I will probably be waiting another 6 months I reckon til I get made an offer, but I can live with that, just want to know what £££££ I'm looking at |

13 years ago, Friday 13th November 1998, I had my roundabout accident, whereby the blind male driver drove straight into me, crushing my leg/foot/ankle and the somersault off the bike resulted in me sustaining a twisted pelvis and hip.
It took a good 5-6years for my case to go through court and for me to get compensation. I got a fair chunk, but I had to endure lots of pain, depression, learn to walk again, psychiatrist appointments, pain specialist assessments, many visits with the solicitor and barrister, finally to court.
Hope this helps. Sorry about the slow response, but even though my life has been changed dramatically, I still have a life away from the pc.

Your accident sounds worse than mine lol, is that why it took 5-6 years? Plus it was over 10 years ago, I like to think solicitors get cases done quicker nowadays?
I don't think I wanna take my case to court, I just want a good decent offer and I'll be happy to leave it at that.
How much did you get? |
