What Is a Personal Injury Claim?
If you've suffered an injury from an accident that wasn't your fault, you're probably wondering whether you're entitled to compensation, and if so, how much. The amount you could receive depends on the type of accident, the injury you've suffered, and its severity.
For instance, a claim for a minor soft tissue injury might be worth a few thousand pounds, while a more severe injury with a lasting impact could be worth significantly more. Our Personal Injury Calculator gives you a fair, instant estimate before you speak to a solicitor, so you know roughly where you stand.
Key Cost Information
Most claims are handled on a No Win, No Fee* basis. If your claim is successful, a success fee of up to 25% (including VAT) is deducted from your compensation. If unsuccessful, and you have complied with the terms of your agreement, you will not have to pay your solicitor's legal fees.
How to Use Our Personal Injury Calculator
Using our Personal Injury Calculator is simple. Just answer a few quick questions about your accident and injury, and the tool will give you an instant guide figure. There's no cost, no obligation, and it takes only a moment.
Each question helps us understand your situation a little better, from the type of accident you had to the severity of your injury and where you're based. Once you've answered them, you'll see an estimated compensation range and can leave your details for a free, no-obligation call back if you'd like one.
The figures our calculator generates are based on the guidelines set by the Judicial College. These are designed to give you a fair and transparent idea of the potential compensation you may receive if you decide to pursue a claim.

Need a Replacement Vehicle Too?
If your car was damaged in a road traffic accident that wasn't your fault, you may also be entitled to a like-for-like replacement vehicle while yours is repaired. There's no excess to pay, no cost to you up front, and your no claims discount stays where it is, because the costs are recovered from the driver at fault rather than from your own policy. It runs alongside your injury claim, not instead of it.
