Legit Claims introduces: Our very own Injury Claims Calculator.
One of our top services and website features is the Legit Claims Calculator. The sole reason there is a tremendous reputation is the assistance it provides in calculating the potential outcome of an Injury claim. Our compensation calculator can calculate a possible compensation amount by the click of a few buttons. If you are considering lodging a personal injury claim, it is wise to look at the injury claims calculator beforehand. Calculating your claim has never been easier. All you need to do to work out a possible amount to perform 3 simple steps.
Step 1: Examine Your Injury.
Once you are on the compensation calculator page you need to start off by identifying what type of injury you have. To begin the identification process all it takes is a quick click of the ‘Start Your Calculation’ button.
· The first option will be identifying your gender. Here the claimant will choose between male or female.
· Secondly, you will have to choose the location of the injury. The main section of the body where the pain is coming from. The areas to choose from are as follow. Head, upper body, arm injury, lower body or foot injury. By deciding on one of these options you agree that that area is where you’ve sustained the injury. Next, we will pinpoint your injury.
· Thirdly we’ll choose which body part exactly is injured. Once you’ve completed choosing an area, only then will the following options become available. Neck injury, back injury, shoulder injuries, chest injuries, leg injuries and hand injuries. Keep in mind that there are various other body parts on the list as well.
· After you have clearly identified what body part is injured then it is time to identify the type of injury. Let us use neck injury as an example. After you have indicated your neck is the part injured then you will be presented with all the possible neck injuries. The injuries include whiplash, fracture or dislocation. All possible injury types differ depending on the body part selected. Another example will be a shoulder injury. After selecting shoulder injury, you will have to choose from either dislocated shoulder or soft tissue.
· Now that you provided detail concerning the area of your injury and the type of injury, all you need to do now is indicate the severity. This is a crucial part of injury compensation claim calculation. There is a huge difference between having a razor blade cut on your arm as to having an arm almost amputated from a chainsaw accident. The severity of the injury will fall under one of three categories. Minor, moderate or severe. To choose a level of severity will require you to use a slider. As you use the severity slider you’ll see that your compensation amount will change accordingly.
Remember that a mistake won’t require you to start the whole process over. Simply click on the blue tab bar to switch between sections.
Step 2: Input Your Loss of Earnings.
The injury claims calculator now knows everything needed concerning your injury. Next, the calculator will ask you to provide a detailed list of the earnings you lost due to the injury. Remember a serious injury can be life-altering. After the ‘Your Injury’ step you’ll be sent to the ‘Loss of Earnings’ step.
The injury claims calculator will ask you the following. What's your average weekly wages (after tax and NI). It will also ask you to provide the total number of weeks you had to take off as a result of your injury.
Step 3: Other Expenses.
Lastly, right before the possible amount is calculated you need to indicate other expense you had due to the injury. These include travel expenses, loss of company benefits, treatment costs and prescriptions for medications.
If you were involved in a road traffic accident it would be wise to indicate the following expenses as well. Car repairs, excess and if you were forced to hire a car in order to commute to work etc. Care and assistance costs including equipment can also be claimed for.
Finalising Your Injury Compensation Claim Amount.
It’s necessary that you understand that the amount given to you by the injury claims calculator is purely an estimate. This is by no means the exact amount you’ll receive as part of your settlement. However, to be closer to finding out true personal injury compensation amounts, you will need to move forward with the claim process. To do this simply click ‘Start Your Claim Now’.
Once done, you’ll be redirected to a page asking for your contact details. This is what we will use to contact you regarding your claim. If you find the entire process rather intimidating, we strongly advise that you contact one of our experienced solicitors to advise you on the claims process and how to get the compensation you deserve.
