How Much Compensation Can I Get?
Understanding Serious Injury Compensation
Compensation for a serious or life‑changing injury depends on how the injury affects your life — your mobility, independence, ability to work, long‑term health, and future needs. Every case is different, but the ranges below give a clear idea of what serious‑injury claims can be worth. In the UK, it is not so much the Injury that gives the value, but it is the losses that flow from that injury that create the value.
General Damages (Pain, Suffering & Loss of Amenity)
These are guideline brackets for the injury itself. Special damages / future losses often make up the largest portion of serious injury claims.
Severe Brain Injury
£250,000–£400,000+
Moderate Brain Injury
£90,000–£200,000
Tetraplegia / Paraplegia
£300,000–£400,000+
Severe Spinal Injury (incomplete paralysis)
£150,000–£300,000
Amputation (single limb)
£120,000–£250,000
Multiple Limb Amputation
£250,000–£400,000+
Severe Orthopaedic Injuries
£50,000–£200,000
Fatal Accident (dependency claims)
Varies significantly depending on income, dependants, and financial impact

Why 0% Success Fee Matters
Most solicitors take 25–45% of your compensation through success fees, deductions, or hidden charges.
I don’t.
You keep 100% of your compensation. I never take a success fee or deduction — the only deduction is the ATE insurance premium, if one is needed.
This can make a huge difference to your final settlement.
