How Compensation Is Calculated in a Public Liability Claim

Public liability compensation is assessed individually, based on your unique circumstances. At NJS Law, our solicitors consider every detail of your injury and its impact, including:

  • Severity and long-term effects of your injury
  • Past and future loss of earnings
  • Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs
  • Pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life
  • Care and assistance, including family support
  • Travel expenses and home adaptations

Our meticulous approach ensures you receive the maximum compensation for your injuries and financial losses.

The Public Liability Claims Process Explained

Our solicitors make the public liability claims process clear and stress-free.

We start with a free consultation, where we review your case and explain your rights. Every claim runs on a no win, no fee basis, meaning you face no financial risk.

Next, we gather evidence such as medical reports, accident records, and witness statements to support your claim. Once the case is ready, our solicitors submit the claim and negotiate directly with insurers or employers.

Finally, we secure your compensation and ensure it reaches you as quickly as possible. From start to finish, you’ll be guided at every step.
