What other expenses can I recover?
In cases of serious injury you can claim the cost of items such as wheelchairs which you may need, as well as nursing and care costs.
If you have been looked after by a relative following an accident it may be possible to claim compensation for them for the services which have been provided to you. It is important that you should keep a diary or other written record of the services which have been provided as this will make it much easier to calculate the level of compensation.
If as a result of injuries which you have sustained you are unable to do any jobs around the house, or for your family, you may be able to claim compensation. Examples would be housework, gardening, car maintenance, DIY. If you have had to pay tradesmen to do jobs that you would previously have been able to do yourself, it is again very important that you keep receipts.
However you must remember that the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme has a cap of £500,000 on the total award that can be made.
