This area covers general damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity arising from personal injury. A solicitor in this field collects medical evidence, assesses past and future pain and impairment, and negotiates or pursues compensation for non‑financial harm alongside any financial losses. They review medical reports, advise on settlement values, and, where needed, issue court proceedings to quantify and recover non‑pecuniary damages on the client’s behalf.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
General damages hinge on the nature and expected duration of pain and disability, and on non‑pecuniary impact. A solicitor handles the evidence base, determines appropriate quantum, and navigates settlements or trials, with professional indemnity insurance and regulatory accountability guarding client interests.
