What Is A Multiple Injury Claim?

Our multiple injury compensation calculator can inform you of how much compensation you could receive for each injury you have sustained. For example, as a result of a serious accident, you could have spinal injuries (such as paralysis) and head injuries (which could lead to serious brain damage).

Because the injuries were caused when someone who owed you a duty of care breached this duty, you’d be able to claim for the two separate injuries. This would be a multiple injury claim.

The injuries you sustain don’t all have to be physical. Psychological injuries can be just as impactful as physical ones. If you were physically and psychologically harmed in an incident that was not your fault, you could receive compensation for the effect of both of these injuries.

What Things Could You Claim For After Suffering Multiple Injuries?

When making a personal injury claim, there are two potential heads of claim that you could be awarded. These are called general and special damages.

First, general damages relate to the physical pain, psychological impact and decline in your quality of life caused by the injury. For example, any pain relating to whiplash, sprains and fractures caused by a road traffic accident would be covered under general damages.

The second potential head of claim is special damages. This relates to the financial losses caused by the injury itself. Therefore, it means you could claim for things like:

  • Loss of earnings
  • Travel costs
  • Medicine and prescriptions
  • Adaptations to your property
  • The cost of care

Types Of Accident Causing Multiple Injuries

When you make a compensation claim, you could receive compensation for multiple injuries that were caused by third-party negligence. More specifically, it would need to be the negligence of someone who had a duty of care towards you.

Below, we have included some examples of situations where you’re owed a duty of care and how an accident might occur. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to speak to our team.

Workplace Accidents Causing Multiple Injuries

Your employer has a duty of care towards you. This means that they need to provide you with a safe workplace.

This duty of care is outlined in the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. If they don’t take all reasonably practicable steps to keep you safe in the workplace, you could be involved in an accident that causes you injury.

Examples of incidents that could lead you to use a multiple injury compensation calculator include:

  • You’re transporting a corrosive substance, but it hasn’t been stored properly. As a result, it spills, and you experience burn injuries and injuries to your eyes.
  • Faulty machinery causes an object to fall on you. This causes a head injury and a fractured shoulder.
  • You slip and fall because you were not given the right anti-slip boots. This causes a broken nose and a broken wrist.

Multiple Injuries Sustained In Road Traffic Accidents

All road users are expected to adhere to the standard of skill and care of the average motorist. The duty of care that road users owe to one another is outlined in the Highway Code.

Road traffic accidents can cause a number of different injuries. Examples of injuries that could be caused by negligence on the road include:

  • Spinal injuries are caused when another driver goes through a red light and hits your car.
  • Internal injuries, including head and brain injuries, due to a multi-car pile-up that was caused when a lorry failed to keep a safe stopping distance from the car in front.
  • Whiplash, sprains and fractures that you sustain when another car pulls out from a side road without looking, hitting the side of your car.

How To Use A Multiple Injury Compensation Calculator

Alongside using a compensation payout calculator, another way of getting an understanding on the potential compensation you may receive is to look at compensation brackets provided by the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG). You can view examples of some of these compensation brackets for different injuries in the table below.

The figures are based on the 16th edition of the JCG, published in April 2022. They are often used alongside medical evidence to help legal professionals value your multiple injury claim accurately.

If you still have any questions about using a multiple injury compensation calculator, then you’re welcome to contact our advisors here at Compensation Calculator UK for support. You can reach us using the contact details included within this guide.

This is because the Judicial College provides compensation brackets for a wide range of different injuries. By using past cases where the courts have provided compensation, they have created specific compensation brackets for any injury you may have suffered. This means you’ll be given a clear indication of what compensation you could receive for every injury you suffer from.

If you have any questions or queries or want free legal advice, call our advisors now using the phone number at the top of the page.

How Much Could I Expect To Claim For Multiple Injuries?

As we have established, the Judicial College provides compensation brackets for every single type of injury. As part of your claim, you will usually be invited to a medical assessment. This is where a doctor examines your injuries and how severe they are. They’ll then put their findings together in a report, which will be used to value your claim.

Claiming special damages is dependant on showing that your injuries caused you financial losses. Therefore, you’ll need to provide evidence of the losses you have incurred. For example, you could provide:

  • Receipts
  • Invoices
  • Bills
  • Payslips

Evidence for each head of your claim will be determined based on its own evidence. However, if you don’t win your claim for general damages, you won’t receive any special damages compensation.

No Win No Fee Multiple Injury Compensation Calculator

Our panel of solicitors can support a compensation claim for multiple injuries on a No Win No Fee basis. When you and one of the solicitors on our panel agree to work together on a personal injury claim, you’ll sign a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) with them.

Under a CFA, you won’t be asked to pay anything to your solicitor upfront or while your claim is being worked on. You also normally won’t be asked to pay them anything for their work if your claim is unsuccessful. The only time you’ll usually be asked to pay a No Win No Fee solicitor is when your claim is successful. If this happens, a legally capped success fee will be deducted from the compensation that has been awarded to you.

To learn more about getting support from a No Win No Fee solicitor or other aspects of multiple injury claims, please contact our advisors today. You can also check out our multiple injury compensation calculator, which can give an estimate on how much compensation you could receive based on certain pieces of information.
