General Damages

General Damages is a legal term for Personal injury compensation. Personal Injury Compensation is based on the type of injury you have sustained and how long it is predicted by the medical experts involved in your case that it will take for you to recover back to a pre-accident level of fitness. Our specialist Personal Injury Solicitors assess medical evidence set against the individuals account, referring to case law, Judicial Studies Board Guidelines (JSB) and own in depth legal knowledge to negotiate maximum compensation.

Special Damages

Special Damages are classed as any other type of damages you have sustained over and above your claim for General Damages (Personal Injury Compensation). Vincents specialist Personal Injury Solicitors will be able to guide you on this but may include:

•  Loss of Earnings, both past and future
•  Care Costs
•  Loss of pension
•  Loss of Congenial Employment
•  Medical Expenses
•  Rehabilitation Costs
•  Travel Costs
