How much compensation is available for a work accident elbow injury?

If you injure your elbow at work in an accident that was not your fault, you need to consider making a claim for compensation. Your employer should have insurance to cover such claims, and their insurer will deal with your work accident elbow injury claim.

No matter what your line of work is, all employers have a duty to keep their employees safe at their office or factory. And if you have injured yourself as a result of your employer’s failure to keep you safe, you could be entitled to compensation. When you telephone our free claims helpline, the question claimants are keen to ask is: how much?

There are two types of compensation available for work accident elbow injuries. The courts divide the damages into general and special categories.

What do general damages mean?

General damages mean compensation for the general pain and suffering that you have endured as a result of your work accident elbow injury. So for example, if you are a keen golfer who enjoys participating in regular tournaments, your quality of life will be reduced during your recovery period. And if your injury is very serious, you may never play golf again. General damages accounts for the amount that would be awarded to compensate you for the discomfort you have suffered and for the reduction in your quality of life.

To calculate the amount of general damages you are entitled to, the courts will look at an agreed tariff of amounts that are usually awarded for particular injuries. It is a bit like a price list, and makes gruesome reading, but provides the starting point for the parties when they are negotiating a settlement.  The tariff contains a spectrum. The more severe your injury the more compensation you will be awarded.

What about special damages?

Special damages cover specific amounts that you have lost as a result of your work accident elbow injury. Depending on what you do for a living, you might have had some time off to recover from the accident. For example, a typist would not be able to continue working for a while after a severe work accident elbow injury. For them, personal injury claim would include an amount for loss of earnings during this time.

Special damages also cover an amount for expenses that you have paid out. For example, if you have paid for a train ticket to go and see a joint specialist a long distance from your home, you could recover the cost of the ticket.
