Internal injury compensation claims - a brief guide
Calculating the value of an internal injury compensation claim is a complex process and may require expert medical assessment of the nature and severity of the injuries and their impact on the injured person's life. Injuries that affect someone for an extended period of time will require expert medical care to minimise any ongoing symptoms and to promote recovery.
Bowel injury compensation
Bowel injury compensation will depend on your age at the time of the accident, the severity of the injury and the length of time taken to recover. Serious bowel injuries that may require the fitting of a colostomy bag on either a temporary or a permanent basis are likely to attract a higher level of compensation than those where the natural function of the bowel remains after the accident. Other factors which might play a part in deciding the level of injury claim to be awarded include any changes to your diet that might be required after the accident.
Kidney injury claim
The main factor affecting the level of compensation to be paid out where someone has suffered a kidney injury will be the degree to which normal kidney function has been impaired. Other factors include the likelihood of the victim suffering from urinary tract infections as a result of the accident.
Bladder injury compensation
Compensation for bladder injuries will typically fall in the range of £15,000 to £90,000. The top end of this scale will only be paid out in cases where a person completely loses the function of their bladder. For more minor bladder injuries where there has been almost a complete recovery but some fairly long-term interference with natural function, compensation will be towards the lower end of the scale, between £15,000 and £20,000.
Spleen injury claim
Injuries to the spleen are likely to affect the role this important organ plays as part of the immune system. An accident that results in serious injuries to the spleen and puts the accident victim at continuing risk of internal infection is likely to attract compensation towards the higher end of the scale for spleen injury payouts, around £16,000. Someone who has suffered minor injuries to the spleen might see a more modest compensation settlement of up to £5,500.
