Personal injury compensation calculator

The website includes an interactive tool that allows you to select the injured body part to obtain an indicative estimate of the compensation that could correspond to the injury itself. The firm itself warns that this is only a guide and that the actual amount will vary depending on the circumstances of each case. To that amount, where applicable, financial losses such as loss of earnings, medical expenses, care and assistance, future losses and out-of-pocket expenses would need to be added.
