How much would my compensation payout amounts be?
How much money you will receive for a personal injury strongly depends upon many factors…
Are you seeking help with car accident injury payouts or compensation for being injured at work? You may be able to claim compensation for your psychological or physical injuries after an accident. However, there is no one chart or payment that fits all injuries, and firms that state that are not giving you the truth.
For any type of accident, injury compensation amounts are relative to the impact an injury has on you. The more severe your injuries then the more likely you are to receive a higher payout. For example, a whole person impairment payout will be significantly higher than a claim where the injured person was able to make a full recovery.
The specific factors that are considered are:
Your own personal circumstances such as your age, your injuries, and your employment
The circumstances in which your accident took place in Queensland
Most importantly, your lawyer’s knowledge and experience, and many more aspects
Trying to understand the validity of your injury claim and how much compensation you could receive is difficult without the right expertise. We’ve answered more of your questions below, but you’re welcome to contact us for free at any time to discuss.

In most cases, yes, a younger person is likely to receive greater compensation than an older person for the same injury. This is because the younger person has longer to endure the injury and it will impact upon their lifestyle and employment for a longer period of time, hence the greater compensation payouts for their injuries.

Yes indeed, every accident compensation claim is different, because injuries affect everyone in different ways. This is the case across all injury claims, from compensation payouts for car accidents to compensation for injury at work claims.
A professional pianist, for instance, is likely to suffer a greater loss of income from losing his/her little finger than say, an accountant, because a professional pianist likely cannot continue in his or her occupation without their little finger.
The professional pianist would therefore likely receive a greater compensation payout.
