Other items you can claim for:

We can recover the cost of any specific items — clothing or equipment, for example — damaged in an accident. Keep receipts if you have them.

In serious accidents, and if appropriate, we can recover the cost of any items you may need for your future care, or for nursing.

We can also obtain compensation for a relative who has to look after you following an accident. If your spouse has to do additional household or nursing duties, then the Court will assess a figure of compensation for that.

In addition, if you are unable to do any specific jobs about the house, or for the family, that you used to then again compensation can be claimed. This is known legally as a services claim.

Any bills received for work you could otherwise have done had it not been for an accident should be kept and a claim submitted for them.

If you lose out on pension entitlement we can ask an actuary to assess the amount lost and include this in the claim.

If you require any special equipment (including adaptation of a vehicle) or nursing assistance as a result of an accident, this too can be claimed; an expert will assess your nursing or other requirements.
