Personal injury solicitors: what about the special damages
A
personal injury solicitor will always try to get the most of a case especially when it comes to the financial expenses and losses that may arise, additionally to the
compensation of the injury because of the accident.
Traditionally
special damages claims can be made for: the travel expenses, including the cost of travelling to and from any hospital, clinic or doctor appointments made and related to the personal injury. The medical expenses as well as the prescriptions can be considered for a claim.
The
loss of earnings includes past earnings and assessed future earnings. Motor insurance excess if the claim is regarding a car accident, you have the possibility to request money to cover any excess that you had to pay out for damages. Care costs can also be considered for a claim as sometimes a nurse care might be required for the injured for years. Finally the cost of damaged property can make a base for a claim: if the accident that has created your injury has also damaged your property, you can make a claim for replacement.
