Compensation for bodily injury is intended to make good material (financial) losses, while redress covers non-material harm (pain and suffering) sustained by people injured as a result of the acts or omissions of others. Accident victims can claim not only the costs of treatment and the income lost because of the accident, but also redress for the harm suffered – for example for pain, stress or other effects on their mental health.

What is bodily injury?
Bodily injury is a violation of the physical or mental fitness of the body that results in impairment of its functions. Bodily (personal) injury is any physical harm that results in pain, suffering, or a reduced quality of life or ability to work or carry out daily activities. Bodily injury may result from bruises, fractures, dislocations, sprains, cuts, poisoning, burns or infections. Bodily injury may also include psychological damage, including emotional suffering or post-traumatic stress. Health damage may be the result of an accident, medical error, violence or other actions/omissions of third parties.

What does compensation for bodily injury cover?
Compensation for bodily injury covers the losses that the injured party has suffered and the benefits that he could have achieved if the damage had not been caused to him. In other words, compensation for bodily injury is intended not only to cover the costs of treatment and rehabilitation (including the costs of medicines, medical consultations, and travel to doctors), but also to compensate, e.g., for loss of income (if the injured party was completely or partially excluded from work and therefore did not earn any money at all or earned less than if the accident had not occurred).
What does redress for bodily injury cover?
Redress for bodily injury covers the non-material harm the injured person suffered as a result of the accident. Along with physical damage (a fracture, burn or infection), the injured person experiences – at the very least – pain. The more serious the physical damage, the more serious the psychological suffering tends to be (including post-traumatic stress disorder or depression). Redress is meant to compensate for all of this, including stress and any other effects on mental health connected with the accident.

Who can claim compensation and/or redress for personal injury?
Compensation and redress for bodily injury are due to people who have suffered such harm because of the act or omission of a third party. These include, for example:
- 01
Victims of medical errors
Compensation and redress for medical errors are due to patients who have suffered health damage as a result of medical errors (improper treatment, diagnostic errors or negligence in medical care).
- 02
Employees injured at work
People who have suffered health damage as a result of an accident at work or an occupational disease have the right to apply for compensation from the employer if the latter is responsible for the accident or illness (e.g. by failing to ensure safe and hygienic working conditions).
- 03
Victims of car accidents
Pedestrians, passengers and drivers of other cars who were injured as a result of the action or omission of another driver, may seek compensation and redress.
- 04
Victims of violence
People who have suffered health damage as a result of crimes may claim compensation and redress, e.g. for mental abuse or assault.
- 05
Victims of random accidents
Such people may seek, for example, compensation for a broken arm or other fracture, if a third party is responsible for the accident (e.g. an accident on a sidewalk not cleared of snow, for which the manager of a neighbouring building is responsible).
How much is compensation for personal injury? How much is redress?
The amount of compensation for personal injury, as well as the amount of redress, depend on many factors and may vary significantly, depending on the circumstances of a given case. However, there are several key factors that are taken into account when determining the amount of compensation and redress. These include:
- Degree, scope and type of bodily injury,
- Degree and duration of pain and suffering,
- Complexity and duration of treatment and rehabilitation,
- The degree, scope and type of possible mental health disorder,
- Complexity and duration of possible psychiatric/psychological treatment,
- The amount of treatment and rehabilitation costs,
- Amount of lost income,
- Loss or reduction of earning capacity.
How to get compensation for personal injury? How to write a claim for compensation?
Obtaining compensation for personal injury is a complicated process that requires knowledge of appropriate procedures and negotiation skills. The injured person can claim compensation and/or redress directly from the person who caused the damage or their insurer (provided that the perpetrator has an appropriate insurance policy).
This raises a question: how do you write a claim for compensation for bodily injury? More questions follow: how do you establish liability and its extent? How much redress can you claim? How is compensation for personal injury calculated? I know the answers to these questions. I know how those responsible for damage try to avoid liability, and I know how to respond effectively. As I specialise in compensation and redress claims, I offer comprehensive assistance throughout the process – from support immediately after the incident until the money is paid – contact me and find out how I can help you.
