Damages Awards
Damages obtained in accident compensation claims are intended to compensate the aggrieved person for loss and to place that person back in the position they would have been in had those injuries and other losses not occurred. Compensation is payable for financial losses and emotional trauma and even though not all of these greivances can be valued, the loss is never the less assessed in financial terms. Pain, suffering and loss of lifestyle are usually valued together in a single award which may, where appropriate also include damages for emotional shock, fear, anxiety and embarrassment.

Assessment & Valuation
The leading publication used to research personal injury damages paid in accident compensation claims is "Kemp & Kemp : Quantum of Damages" which is the definitive source of reference on the legislation, case law and legal practice relating to these awards. Almost all law firms have a copy of this book and make regular reference to it to help establish the value of an injury. This publication is available in most public libraries and contains quantum reports for all types of personal injury case from minor injuries to catastrophic injuries of the utmost severity.

Pain & Suffering
The value of the award for pain and suffering in accident compensation claims depends on a number of factors including the extent of the physical trauma, the discomfort that has been endured and whether or not there are any long term problems. Judges establish the value of pain and suffering following a physical injury after consideration of previously decided cases involving the same or similar injuries together with the information contained in a publication from the Judicial Studies Board called ‘Guidelines for the Assessment of General Damages’ which aims to ‘distil the conventional wisdom contained in the reported cases, to supplement it from the collective experience of the working party and to present the result in a convenient, logical and coherent form’.
