How It Works
Many jurisdictions use a tariff-based system to calculate compensation for criminal injuries. This means a fixed monetary amount is assigned to specific types of injuries, depending on their severity. This calculator uses a simplified version of that concept. You select your injuries, and the tool provides an illustrative total based on these common tariff values.
Inputs Explained
- Injury Category: The general area or type of injury (e.g., Fractures, Burns).
- Specific Injury: The precise injury from within that category. The available options and their illustrative values are based on common tariff structures.
- Quantity: The number of times you have sustained that specific injury.
Example
A person was assaulted and suffered a broken arm and two broken ribs.
- They select "Fractures" -> "Fracture of a major bone (arm)". The calculator adds an entry with an illustrative value of £3,500.
- They select "Fractures" -> "Multiple Rib Fractures". The calculator adds another entry with an illustrative value of £2,000.
- The Total Estimated Compensation would be the sum: £3,500 + £2,000 = £5,500 (illustrative).
Tips & Notes
- This calculator only covers physical and psychological injuries. It does not account for other potential claims like loss of earnings or special expenses.
- The final compensation amount is determined by the official authority and can be higher or lower than this estimate.
- Claims for multiple injuries may be subject to a maximum overall cap, which this calculator does not model.
