It is also, important to note that personal injury claims tariffs in England and Wales are guided by the Judicial College Guidelines, which provide standardised compensation amounts for various types of injuries.
These guidelines are used by Courts and Solicitors to determine appropriate settlement amounts based on the severity and nature of the injury. The guidelines are regularly updated to reflect changes in case law and inflation.
