Multiple Injury Compensation FAQ
Everything you need to know about claiming compensation for multiple injuries, Judicial College Guidelines, and how UK courts assess combined trauma.
In the UK, compensation for multiple injuries is not simply the sum of all individual injury tariffs. Courts use the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to start with the tariff for the most severe injury, then add a percentage of the tariffs for the other injuries. Typically, the second most serious injury attracts 30-50% of its tariff value, and the third adds 10-20%. This reflects the overlapping pain and suffering.
The Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) are the definitive reference used by UK courts, solicitors, and insurance companies to assess the value of general damages (pain, suffering, and loss of amenity) in personal injury claims. They provide bracket figures for almost every type of physical and psychological injury.
No. If you break your arm and suffer whiplash, you do not simply add the full tariff for a broken arm to the full tariff for whiplash. The court applies a ‘multiple injury discount’ or percentage uplift to the secondary injuries to account for the fact that the overall pain and suffering is less than the sum of the individual parts.
Yes. If an accident causes both physical trauma (e.g., a fractured pelvis) and a recognized psychiatric illness (e.g., PTSD or severe depression), both can be included in your claim. The most severe condition will form the primary tariff, and the other will be calculated as a secondary injury percentage.
A ‘tariff’ is the specific monetary bracket assigned to an injury in the Judicial College Guidelines. For example, a ‘minor back injury’ might have a tariff bracket of £890 to £8,200. Your solicitor or the court will determine where within that bracket your specific injury falls based on severity and recovery time.
No. This calculator only estimates ‘general damages’ (the compensation for the injury itself, pain, and suffering). It does not include ‘special damages’ such as loss of earnings, medical expenses, travel costs to appointments, or care costs, which are calculated separately based on your actual financial losses.
