DO I NEED A MEDICAL REPORT?

Following your medical examination, the medical report is usually prepared within 5 working days, the medical report is then forwarded to yourself to confirm that you are happy with the report. Once you are happy with medical report it is then forwarded to the third party insurers for them to make an offer of compensation.

When making a personal injury claim one of the most important things you would want to know is the value of your claim, we understand that and have created our online Personal Injury Claims Calculator.

At Hamilton Douglas Legal, our personal injury claims compensation calculator can be used to determine an approximate value of your personal injury claim, along with personal injury compensation levels that determine the total value of the claim. Compensation values depend on many factors such as the severity of the injury, the length of suffering, the cost of treatment and the impact it has had on your daily life.

Using our Personal Injury Claims Calculator is simple, straightforward and easy.

Simply select the part of the body affected, and the severity, the calculator will give you an approximate value of your compensation. You may have suffered injury to other parts of your body, these injuries will also count towards your total compensation valuation.

Please note the value of compensation is approximate and it is not possible to give an exact valuation, the amounts will vary depending on your personal circumstances. Many factors have to be considered when making a personal injury compensation calculation, as a result we suggest you contact one of our specialists who will be able to make a more accurate assessment of your claim.

There are a few steps to work through on our calculator, each question will be in relation to your accident.

Each answer you give will help our calculator understand your accident and the impact it has had on your daily life, your answers will help us give you an accurate valuation of your personal injury claim.
