Common questions about compensation amounts and how claims are valued. Every claim is different — these answers reflect real outcomes, not a guarantee of what any future claim may recover.
Compensation depends entirely on the severity of the injury and its impact on your life, work and finances. NJS Law has recovered amounts ranging from around £3,000 for less severe injuries to £3.7 million for a life-changing workplace crush injury. Every claim is assessed on its own facts.
The value of a broken ankle claim depends on severity, recovery time and any lasting effects. In one occupiers’ liability case, NJS Law recovered £26,000 for a client who fractured an ankle after slipping on liquid from a faulty Portaloo at an event. Your own claim would be valued on its specific circumstances.
Road traffic injury settlements vary widely. NJS Law recovered £28,000 for a client who suffered nerve damage and chronic pain after being rear-ended at a red light, and £50,000 for a client injured in a head-on collision. The amount reflects medical evidence and the long-term impact on the individual.
Dental negligence compensation reflects the harm caused and any lasting damage. NJS Law recovered over £3,000 for a client whose repeated treatment failures led to a dental bridge and the loss of three teeth. More serious cases involving permanent damage can result in higher awards.
Awards depend on the injuries and their impact. NJS Law recovered £11,500 for a cyclist injured in a roundabout collision and £20,000 for a pedestrian struck by a vehicle at a crossing. Each claim is valued on its own medical evidence and circumstances.

In most personal injury and clinical negligence cases in England and Wales there is a three-year time limit, usually running from the date of the accident or the date you became aware of the injury. Different limits can apply to children and certain other claims, so it’s best to seek advice as early as possible.

If you believe you have been left without reasonable financial provision from a loved one’s estate, taking legal action can feel overwhelming — particularly when you are already dealing with grief. Understanding the process from beginning to end makes it far less frightening and helps you work effectively with your solicitor to achieve the best possible outcome.
Of all the Inheritance Act claims we handle at NJS Law, those brought by adult children excluded from a parent’s will are among the most emotionally complex. Understanding how the law and the courts approach these cases — what is relevant, what is not, and what you can realistically hope to achieve — is essential before you decide how to proceed.
