Guidance only. These ranges are for general guidance and are not a guarantee of the compensation a client would receive if their claim is successful. They show a selection of the brackets from the Judicial College Guidelines (18th Edition) and do not represent every possible injury or range. They cover general damages (pain, suffering and loss of amenity) only and exclude other losses such as lost earnings, care and expenses. Every claim turns on its own facts and the final award is for the court. For advice, contact NJS Law.

Based on the Judicial College Guidelines

Our calculator uses the 18th Edition, including the statutory whiplash tariff, so the range you see reflects current guidance rather than outdated figures.

Common questions

Claim calculator FAQs

How accurate is the claim calculator estimate?

The calculator gives a guide range based on the Judicial College Guidelines 18th Edition, which solicitors and courts use as a starting point for injury compensation. Your actual settlement depends on the specific facts of your case, including medical evidence, financial losses, and how the injury has affected your life, so a solicitor's assessment may differ from the estimate shown.

Does using the claim calculator cost anything?

No. The calculator is free to use and does not require you to instruct NJS Law or provide payment details. It is a guide to help you understand what your claim might be worth before you decide whether to speak to a solicitor.

What happens after I get my estimate?

You can request a free consultation with one of our solicitors, who will review the details of your accident or injury and advise whether you have grounds for a claim, all on a no win, no fee basis.

Can my claim be worth more than the calculator suggests?

Yes. The calculator only estimates general damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity. Many claims also include special damages, such as lost earnings, medical costs, care costs and travel expenses, which are not reflected in the calculator and can significantly increase the total value of a claim.

Not sure where your claim stands?

Speak to a solicitor for free. No win, no fee.

Nottingham Maternity Scandal: Ockenden Report Birth Negligence Claims

Today the findings of the largest maternity review in the history of the NHS were published, and they make for harrowing reading. The independent inquiry led by Donna Ockenden into maternity services at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust examined around 2,500 cases and concluded that 520 mothers and babies suffered potentially avoidable harm, with 162 of them dying after experiencing substandard care. Of those deaths, 156 were children and six were mothers, and the review found they could have been avoided with better care.
The primary legislation governing the safety of work equipment in England and Wales is the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). If your employer breached PUWER and you were injured as a result, you are entitled to claim compensation.
