What You Can Claim

Compensation for internal organ damage or torso injuries is designed to reflect both the physical suffering and the financial impact of serious trauma. Claims are generally divided into general damages and special damages.

1. General Damages 

These compensate for pain, suffering, and loss of amenity caused by the injury. The amount awarded depends on the severity of damage, psychological consequences, impact on employment and long-term consequences including future financial losses.

Under the Judicial College Guidelines (17th Edition), indicative awards include:

• Moderate organ damage: approximately £15,000–£40,000
• Serious permanent organ impairment: £40,000–£200,000+
• Multiple organ trauma or life-altering injuries: awards exceeding £200,000 when future care and loss of earnings are included

2. Special Damages 

These cover financial losses and future expenses linked to your injury, such as:

• Loss of earnings or reduced future income
• Private medical treatment, surgery, and rehabilitation costs
• Physiotherapy and specialist recovery programmes
• Travel expenses for hospital visits
• Care and support costs, including home adaptations

Your solicitor will carefully calculate every financial loss — both current and future — ensuring your claim reflects the full impact on your life.

Serious cases may also include expert evidence from care consultants and forensic accountants to project future financial losses.

Each case is supported by independent medical specialists to ensure accurate long-term valuation.

Our panel solicitors handle claims involving:

• Liver lacerations and rupture
• Kidney failure following blunt force trauma
• Collapsed lung (pneumothorax)
• Lung damage caused by blunt force trauma
• Splenic rupture
• Bowel perforation
• Internal bleeding
• Multi-organ trauma in high-impact collisions
• Crush injuries affecting abdominal organs
• Workplace internal organ trauma
• Permanent soft tissue or structural damage to the torso

Funding & Fees – No Win, No Fee 

Most internal organ and torso injury claims are funded through a No Win, No Fee agreement (Conditional Fee Agreement). This means:

• No upfront legal fees
• No fees if your claim is unsuccessful
• A pre-agreed success fee (typically capped at 25%) only if you win

This transparent structure ensures there are no hidden costs.

You may also have legal expenses cover through home insurance, motor insurance, or trade union membership.

How the Claim Process Works 

At Compare Compensation Claims, we make the legal process straightforward and supportive.

2. Investigation & Medical Evidence

Your solicitor gathers evidence including:

• Medical records
• Independent medical assessments
• Accident reports
• Witness statements

3. Negotiation & Interim Payments

Where appropriate, your solicitor can secure interim payments to cover urgent costs such as treatment or lost earnings while your claim progresses.

4. Settlement or Court Proceedings

Most claims settle through negotiation. However, if liability is disputed or a fair settlement isn’t offered, your solicitor will pursue your case through court to secure the maximum compensation available.

Throughout the process, you’ll receive clear communication and compassionate support.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How much compensation could I receive for internal organ damage? 

Compensation depends on the organ affected, severity, treatment required, and long-term impact. Awards typically range from £15,000 to £200,000+, based on Judicial College Guidelines and individual circumstances.

How long do I have to make a claim? 

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident or diagnosis to begin your claim. Exceptions apply for children and individuals lacking mental capacity.

Learn more about time limits in our Personal Injury Claims Guide.

Will I have to go to court? 

The majority of claims settle without court proceedings. However, if liability is denied or negotiations fail, your solicitor will represent you in court.

Can I claim on behalf of someone else? 

Yes. You may act as a litigation friend for someone unable to claim themselves, or bring a claim following a fatal accident. See our Fatal Accident Claims page for more information.

How long does the claims process take? 

Straightforward cases may resolve within 6–12 months. More serious injuries requiring long-term prognosis may take longer to ensure the settlement reflects future care needs.

What if I’m partly at fault? 

You may still claim under split liability rules. Compensation may be reduced proportionately, but you could still recover substantial damages.
