How Much Compensation Will I Get For My Injuries?

 What Factors Influence Compensation Payments?

Each accident compensation claim payout looks at many factors such as:

• The extent of injury sustained
• The age of the person
• Their occupation
• The health of the injured person at the time of the injury
• The person's pre-injury lifestyle
• The unique instances in your particular accident/injury

There is no single dollar amount for everyone, as your claim is as unique as you are. However that said, in 30 seconds or less we can at least identify if you can claim and we'll give you a free assessment. We'll lay out all your options and you can take it from there. No hassle or pressure, but at least you'll know if you have a claim and what it may be worth.

 What Are The Average Compensation Payments For Motor Accident Claims in QLD?

The 'average' refers to the mean average, which is worked out by adding all of the payment amounts together, then dividing the amount by the number of settlements.

Each car accident compensation claim, like all of us, is unique. As an example, let's look at the 7,623 motor vehicle accident claims in Queensland that were finalised in the 2017 financial year:

• The average compensation payment for minor injuries was $65,957

 Does My Age Play A Part In How Much Compensation I May Receive?

Whether a motor vehicle accident claim or a compensation for an injury at work claim, in most cases, yes, a younger person is likely to receive greater compensation than an older person for the same injury.

This is because the younger person has longer to endure the injury and it will impact upon their lifestyle and employment for a longer period of time, hence the greater compensation payouts for their injuries.

Talk to us about the details of your accident and your injury, and we'll be happy to be more specific about the personal injury compensation payout you may be entitled to. It's totally free and there’s no obligation.

 Is Every Injury Compensation Claim Unique?

Yes indeed, every accident compensation claim is different, because injuries affect everyone in different ways. This is the case across all injury claims, from compensation payouts for car accidents to compensation for injury at work claims.

A professional pianist, for instance, is likely to suffer a greater loss of income from losing his/her little finger than say, an accountant, because a professional pianist likely cannot continue in his or her occupation without their little finger.

The professional pianist would therefore likely receive a greater compensation payout.
