How Much is a Personal Injury Claim Worth?

The value of personal injury compensation depends on the severity of psychological or physical injury level and the extent of a financial loss. The Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (QLD) protects your legal right to file an injury damages claim when seeking compensation.

This legislation considers the following factors for calculating compensation:

  • The type of claim
  • Injury type and severity
  • How much the injury has changed your life
  • Your current work capacity and income

An injured person can claim damages for:

  • Future and past lost earnings
  • Future and past rehab and medical costs
  • Treatment-related travel costs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost enjoyment of life

During a free initial consultation, Splatt Lawyers can explain the calculations that apply to your case. Call 1800 700 125, or email us >

About the Personal Injury Law Process

You may be entitled to compensation if you have suffered a physical or psychological injury because of someone else’s negligence.

To have a successful outcome, you must follow these steps:

Establish Fault

Establish that someone else was at fault for your injuries that caused an injury-related financial loss.

Get Medical Help

Seek medical treatment before lodging a personal injury claim. This starts the recovery process and provides crucial evidence.

Keep Records

Maintain accurate medical treatment records, as these will be necessary to support a damages claim.
