Types Of Internal Injury Compensation  

To be able to claim compensation, your internal injury damage has to be caused by some form of negligence. There are many different accidents and scenarios that could result in internal organ damage from an accident. However, some of the accidents that are most likely to cause internal injury are: 

• Road traffic accidents. 
• Accidents at work – such as accidents involving machinery, falling from a height, or a crushing accident. 
• Slip, trip and fall accidents.  
• Accidents in public places. 
• Medical negligence accidents. 
• Industrial disease claims.
• Assault – you could suffer an internal injury due to an assault. There are many different types of injuries that you could potentially experience due to an assault. If you have been injured due to an assault, you should proceed with a criminal case against your attacker. However, you could also claim compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority to help you recover from your injuries.

If you have suffered from an internal injury, you could be able to claim internal injury compensation as a result. In all of these scenarios, someone else has a duty of care to ensure your safety. For example, in the workplace, your employer has a responsibility to protect your safety. In order to do this, your employer has to follow any relevant health and safety guidelines set out by the Health and Safety Executive. 

If you have suffered from an internal injury that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you could be able to claim internal injury as a result.  

Internal Injury Compensation 

The amount of internal injury compensation that you can claim will depend upon the specific details of your case. This amount of compensation is calculated by looking at two specific categories: general damages and special damages. 

General Damages 

The pain and suffering that your injuries have caused is the main factor that is used to determine how much compensation you are owed.  

Special Damages 

Compensation also takes into account any financial losses that you might have suffered as a result of your injuries, such as a loss of earnings due to being unable to return to work. If you have had to pay for treatment or travel to treatment, compensation may also be able to cover this as well. Therefore, you should keep any receipts or other documents that help to outline the extent of your financial losses, as caused by your condition.
