How much can I get?
There is no one size fits all solution we can use when it comes to calculating how much you could be due.
The amount owed to plaintiffs depends on the severity of their injuries and the State in which they suffered them.

- Any time off work and lost earnings
- Any future lost earnings
- Any changes in your ability to work
- Care or support, even if given to you for free by family or friends
- Any adaptations you might need to your home or vehicle
- Travel and accommodation expenses
