WHIPLASH SETTLEMENTS

Personal injury compensation claims and whiplash settlements are divided into several categories including :-

• General Damages represents compensation for items which cannot be calculated precisely and are based on the Courts best assessment. Pain and suffering is usually the main item in this category and is assessed following review of medical reports.
• Special Damages represents compensation for items which the courts can calculate accurately and may include lost income, medical expenses and loss of personal property. It is usually necessary to prove these losses by production of receipts, however in the absence of receipts estimates of loss can often be made and verified by other documentary evidence.
• Punitive Damages are intended to punish the wrongdoer and are awarded by the court based on a best assessment basis. They may be recovered where there has been intentional wrongdoing, or a total and reckless negligent disregard to the possibility of injury or damage to the claimant.
• Future losses may include anticipated loss of wages over a period of years and subsequent expenses relating to care or the provision of medical services. The calculation of these losses can be complex and a special calculation is applied to the estimated annual loss to arrive at a fair figure for compensation.
