Q10. How much compensation will I get?

A10. That very much depends upon how much pain and distress has been caused by your injury and how serious it is.

A serious injury will attract more compensation than a mild injury.

Other factors include the effect your injury has had upon your career and whether you have suffered a loss of earnings.

This will be discussed with you by your solicitor or lawyer.
