New personal injury figures are out

#1 Post by T.C. » Sun Aug 23, 2009 8:26 pm

I may have mentioned in the past that if you are injured in a road crash, the value of your injuries are based on the figures provided by the Judicial Studies Review Board Guideline for the assesment of General Damages in Personal Injury claim. These figures have to be observed by the courts, the insurance companies and law firms.

New figures are out.

At the bottom of the scale, for each broken back tooth - £700

At the top end for Severe brain injury and quadraplegia, £257,000.

The tooth damage has gone up by £100 on last year, brain injury by about £6,000.

When you hear of multi million pound settlements, that is made up of what is called "Special Damages" and is on top of the general damages.

Just thought it may be of interest to you :smt017

I'm presuming that's the market rate if signed by all of The Who ?
How much do you get for Tommy ?







(don't worry folks, the above is a carefully crafted plan to establish serious brain injury as part of my claim :smt002 ..... though I might have trouble in establishing that this was not a pre-existing condition)
