How Much is My Personal Injury Compensation Worth?

The value of your personal injury compensation depends on how much your injury has changed your life now and in the future. Your legal right to claim damages is outlined in the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (QLD), and considers these ‘heads of damages’ when calculating compensation:

  • The severity and nature of your injuries
  • How much your life has been altered
  • Your occupation and current income

An injured person can claim damages for:

  • Lost earnings – past and future
  • Past and future medical costs
  • Rehabilitation costs and treatment expenses
  • Medical-related travel expenses
  • Lost enjoyment of life
  • Cost of domestic assistance
