Claiming compensation for lost pay or wages

Losing money after an accident that wasn’t your fault? Let Camps help!

If you’ve been injured after an accident where you were not at fault, the long process of recovering from your injuries can be bad enough. But for many people the thought that they might be losing out on their wages whilst they are out of work is particularly galling. Here at Camps, we recognise this, which is why we can help anyone who has been injured in a non-fault accident to make a compensation claim which covers any wages they may have lost from being off work after their accident.

Suffering almost any injury, if it is serious enough, might mean having to take time off work to recover and rehabilitate. Often less obvious injuries, such as those involving soft tissue damage (for example, whiplash-type injuries) might take longer to recover than apparently more serious injuries, such as broken bones.

Whilst most of us wouldn’t want to spend any more time off work than is absolutely necessary, the reality of many personal injuries is that time is needed to recover. Indeed rushing back to work too soon after suffering an injury can cause complications that might prolong your recovery.

So, you might be thinking, the situation isn’t looking good, I’m off work, losing money and I don’t know when I might be able to return to my job. This is just the kind of situation where Camps Solicitors can help. As part of your personal injury claim, we can help you to recover compensation not just for the wages you might already have lost from being off work since you were injured, but also for any monies you might lose out from in future, which can, in exceptional circumstances include any bonuses or promotions you were in line from and have missed out on due to your injury.

Claiming for lost pay or wages

Making a compensation claim for loss of earnings is easy with Camps Solicitors. Our legal team will look at the circumstances surrounding your injury, along with reports from medical professionals detailing the estimated time it will take to recover from your injuries. From this information and information from your employer, our lawyers will calculate the money that you have already lost out on due to your injury and we will estimate the amount that you stand to lose in future before you can return to work. This total amount is then added to your accident claim and if the claim is successful, then you keep 100% of this compensation.
