Where multiple injuries have been sustained in the same accident, compensation may be significantly higher depending on the severity, recovery period, financial losses and long-term impact.
The figures above are illustrative estimates only and are not guaranteed compensation amounts. Housing disrepair claims are assessed individually and depend on factors such as the severity of the disrepair, the length of time it existed, evidence available, the landlord’s response, and any financial loss or health impact suffered.
