Injuries To The Senses Compensation

Any accident or injury which causes loss or impairment of your senses will have potentially devastating consequences for the victim. Regardless of whether your sight, hearing, sense of touch, taste, or smell is affected, you could make a claim for compensation provided that the injuries to your senses are caused by the negligence of a third party. The third party will need to found to have owed you a duty of care.

The amount of compensation you can claim will depend on the seriousness of the injury, and you will receive more compensation for a total loss of one or more senses when compared to a temporary loss or injury. The following are some examples of the amount of compensation you could claim:

  • loss of sight (in one eye) – up to £43,000
  • hearing loss (in one ear) – up to £30,000
  • loss of smell – up to £21,600
  • loss of taste – up to £15,000

In addition to the above you can also make a claim for any expenses that you have incurred or will have to incur such as medical bills, care costs, alterations to the home, loss of income and so on. You should however ensure you make your claim within three years of the date of the injury, and before their 21st birthday in the case of a child.
