- Loss of earnings, including overtime and bonuses

- Any medication
- Cost of any special equipment or adaptations
- Care given by members of your family or others E.g. them having time off work

I had a look into some figures for a neck injury and they are as follows :
Neck Injury Compensation:
- Quadriplegia: £175,000 - £220,000
- Severe neck injury: £30,000 - £82,000
- Neck fracture/dislocation: £13,500 - £18,000
- Moderate Neck injury : £4,250 - £13,750
- Minor neck injury: £750 - £4,250
I hope this helps
- The previous answer gives a list of compensation amounts for pain and suffering for the neck injury itself - known as general damages. A medical expert will be instructed by your solicitor to produce a medico legal report setting out the exact nature of your neck injury and the predicted future symptoms and disabilities you may have. For the amounts of compensation you can expect in the UK for neck injuries from whiplash to paralysis please see the related link entitled "neck injury claims".
