Anyone who has been injured in a collision that was not their fault has a legal right to make a motor accident compensation claim for the pain, suffering and financial loss that they have suffered. Relatives and dependents of the innocent victim of a fatal accident are also entitled to claim. Compensation payable is divided into 'special damages' and 'general damages' :-

Special Damages represents compensation for financial loss that can be calculated acurately and does not need assessment. These losses may also include future losses and there are special mathematical procedures for calculating these losses. Loss of earnings is generally estimated using the victims average weekly wage in the 13-week period prior to the injury and multiplying this by the time off work. In cases where the injury reduces the ability to earn or is severe enough to force the victim to leave their job, the victim is also entitled to damages for future loss of earnings which is estimated based the earnings that the victim would have achieved in the future but for the injury. In addition a claim can be made for many other financial losses and expenses all of which form part of the Special Damages claim which is the direct financial loss that the victim has suffered as a result of the accident.

General Damages represents compensation for loss that cannot be calculted with any degree of certainty and must be wholly or partially assesed, the main item of which is usually pain, suffering and loss of amenity. The value of these items is usually assessed by the judge in the case following review of medical reports and records and after consideration of legal guidlines published by the "Judicial Studies Board" and previously decided motor accident compensation claim settlements.
