The amount of compensation received depends upon how serious your injuries are and what other losses you have incurred, including:
- Loss of earnings, including overtime and bonuses
- Travel to and from medical appointments E.g. Hospital, Doctors etc..
- Any medication
- Cost of any special equipment or adaptations
- Care given by members of your family or others E.g. them having time off work
- Damage caused to any of your personal effects
I had a look into some figures for a neck injury and they are as follows :
Neck Injury Compensation:
- Quadriplegia: £175,000 - £220,000
- Severe neck injury: £30,000 - £82,000
- Neck fracture/dislocation: £13,500 - £18,000
- Moderate Neck injury : £4,250 - £13,750
- Minor neck injury: £750 - £4,250
I hope this helps
- The previous answer gives a list of compensation amounts for pain and suffering for the neck injury itself - known as general damages. A medical expert will be instructed by your solicitor to produce a medico legal report setting out the exact nature of your neck injury and the predicted future symptoms and disabilities you may have. For the amounts of compensation you can expect in the UK for neck injuries from whiplash to paralysis please see the related link entitled "neck injury claims".

What is the concept of RSU offset and how does it impact employee stock compensation plans?
RSU offset is when a company deducts the value of vested restricted stock units (RSUs) from an employee's total compensation. This can impact employee stock compensation plans by reducing the amount of stock an employee receives, potentially affecting their overall financial benefits.
Can you contribute to a Roth IRA after you have retired?
You cannot contribute more to your IRA than the amount of your "compensation income." Compensation income is the taxable portion of your wages/salary, net self-employment, and alimony. Any amount shown in box 1 of a W-2 minus the amount shown in box 11 of the same W-2 is automatically considered taxable compensation income. So if you are not doing some kind of work or receiving alimony, you can't contribute. There is no age limit for contributions to a Roth IRA. People over 70 1/2 cannot contribute to a traditional IRA.
