Injuries
Following a personal injury, you’ll likely have injuries that will affect the quality of your life for a long time. This can be debilitating and depending on the severity and longevity of your symptoms, will affect the overall compensation total you’ll be entitled to after making a successful claim.
Regardless of how severe the injury, your quality of life will be directly affected by a personal injury.
Money
Unfortunately, personal injuries often mean money too. Whether it’s missing payments from work due to being injured, or having to make payments for medication or travel, you’ll feel the financial sting from a personal injury sometimes as much as you’ll feel the injuries themselves.
If you choose to make a claim after a personal injury, a portion of your overall settlement will be made up of special damages. This amount will aim to compensate you for any financial losses that you’ve experienced as a direct result of your personal injury.
You can claim special damages for a variety of different reasons, included but not limited to:
- Sick pay
- Travel costs
- Medication costs
- Changes to your home to aid your recovery
Confidence
As well as your physical condition and any expenditures you’ve had to make, suffering a personal injury can take a big hit on your confidence. Depending on how you were injured, it could take months or years to regain your confidence and return to a lifestyle like the one you had before your accident. This can be as damaging as any other injuries you’ve suffered from your accident.
Relationships
The impact of a personal injury can often extend to your friends, family, and loved ones. The combination of pain, financial stress and emotional turmoil of a personal injury can lead to strain on relationships which might worsen your symptoms. If you’re struggling with the aftermath of a personal injury, then don’t hesitate to reach out for professional support by contacting us.
